Buy1GIVE1
Bruton vets are proud to be working in partnership with the Global Giving Initiative Buy1GIVE1.
We recognised our business has the power to change lives beyond those of us and our pets, by making the act of giving a habit and integrating it into our everyday business activities. Doing this together with you is a simple but powerful example of that realisation.
So how does it work?
Every time one of our patients receives one of three specific treatments at Brackenbury Petcare, we make a particular donation to a great cause. There are hundreds of great B1G1 ‘Giving Stories’ we are able to choose from, but we have chosen the following three, based on our love for animals, the desire to see animal suffering reduced, as well as wanting to help people benefit from animals that can improve their situation:
We vaccinate a dog in Nepal against rabies
Save the lives of animals and people by vaccinating a dog against the rabies virus. The infectious disease is prevalent in poorly sanitized countries like Nepal. Immunising 70% of dogs in a community virtually eradicates the threat of this deadly virus.
We neuter a rescued dog in Nepal
Help animals in Nepal live longer and healthier lives by neutering them. Authorities control dog populations by poisoning them and pups die when their mothers cannot feed them. The neutering of dogs helps put an end to this sad suffering.
We provide a goat for a family in Kenya
Make a huge difference to an entire Kenyan family by sponsoring a goat and providing the breeding infrastructure. The sale of products such as milk, soap, cheese, and yoghurt at local markets, generates sustainable income for the family.
