Burgess Pet Care is celebrating the success of its Greyhound and Lurcher ‘Two-week Takeover’ campaign, which saw it donate over £6,500 worth of Burgess Supadog Greyhound and Lurcher food to five Greyhound and Lurcher rescue centres across the UK.

The online campaign reached thousands of people and included a two-week takeover of Burgess Pet Care’s social media channels to share information about Greyhound and Lurchers and what makes them wonderful pets. The channels also shone a light on some of the fantastic work being carried out by UK Greyhound and Lurcher rescue centres.
Burgess encouraged its followers to nominate UK greyhound and rescue centres as recipients of a large donation of Burgess Supadog Greyhound & Lurcher food. The five rescues that received the most nominations were: Greyhounds 4 U (Hampshire); Greys Eleven Plus (Thetford); Seaside Greyhounds (Lincolnshire); Makants (Manchester); and Forever Hounds Trust (Exeter).
Debbie Buxcey, founder of Greyhounds 4U said: “It’s been wonderful to receive such a generous donation from Burgess Pet Care. We are a small organisation and it has been very difficult for us to fundraise over the past year, so we have been really moved by the fact that so many of our supporters nominated us. We receive no Government funding so donations are incredibly important in supporting our work.”
Burgess Pet Care’s Greyhound & Lurcher takeover campaign will return for a third year in 2021.
