It’s Day 3 of Rescue Vet’s 12 days of Christmas and Dr Scott is visiting The Dog’s Trust in Harefield to find out more about their amazing pet food banks, which are helping people who are struggling to keep their loved pets in their homes, rather than going into rescue.
You can find out more about The Dog’s Trust Pet Food Banks here – https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/our-centres/dog-food-bank and if you’re struggling please reach out for help, and look into a pet food bank near you.
Or if you’ve been inspired to help out this Christmas, why not give a donation of food, or unwanted pet toys and bedding to your nearest food bank, even the smallest donation makes a huge difference.
This Christmas on Rescue Vet, there will be a brand new video every day at 5pm (UK time) from Saturday 14th December until Christmas Day, so make sure you’re subscribed and see you tomorrow for the next 12 Rescues of Christmas! 🐾🎄🎅

What a loving brilliant idea.😊😊
I love how you are giving all aspects of rescue during your 12 days not just the animals but the other portions of it too thank you for all you do
Hi Scott I take food at dogs homes a little helps ,lv Ann ❤️🐕🐕
Dr. Scott, I can see a new spring in your step and you are super happy. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
What a lovely idea that is
Merry Christmas from Florida, I love Rescue Vet and Dr. Scott. ❤
So sorry, it does not like much food there donated at this time. God Bless you all. Wonderful idea.
The local humane society has a pet food bank. They even have bird things on occasion. Its very useful if you have a few bad months. And even longer, as it probably costs more to house/care for the animal instead of just feed it.
SO many people think that if their dog is found as a stray by the RSPCA that we are "stealing their dog" and don't want to give it back!
Totally NOT true!
We want the dogs to go back to their family!! It's hard to find dogs homes so if they can go home it saves us needing to seek new homes and it saves the dog the stress of being in kennels for months!
The stray fee is because we looked after your dog while it was in our care, took up space and meant we had to turn strayts away.
PLEASE microship your dog/cat!!!! You will get it back asap! SO many dogs/cats not claimed becasue people don't chip. It's SO hard for an owner to locate their dog once they get lost and are not chipped.
What a wonderful thing that the Dogs Trust is doing for their community. Thank you Dr. Scott for contributing. ❤️🐕❤️
Where in Norwich can I give to doggie food bank?
Vets bills being so high doesn’t help , when time are hard
We have a similar service here in Kerrville, TX, at Kerrville Pets Alive! We also have pet supplies as well for dogs and cats.
Thank you Dr Scott for bringing awareness to rescues. I love this food bank for rescue animals. It's wonderful to keep the animals with their families. ❤
What a wonderful way to help those who might have to give up their pets because they cannot afford to buy food for their beloved furry family members!!
Wonderful Dr Scott ❤
❤❤❤
What a lovely place and philosophy, so nice to see, thank you for sharing and caring, love your 12 Rescues of Christmas 💓🎄🐶💓
What a lovely idea. Merry Christmas.😊
Thank God for places like this.BTW,love your sweater!
Such a great idea❤
We are very lucky where we live as the Humane Society has a pet food bank and our people food banks also accept pet foods for distribution.
What about veterinary care ? This is what people really can’t afford and so many animals are getting PTS because of this . Vets prices have sky rocketed , due to big corporate ownership and insurance . There is only the PDSA but if you are not within the catchment area of one you simply cannot get help . So many animals are suffering because of this .
what about cats ???
Great idea!❤❤❤🙌🏻
Wonderful idea
Another great organisation Scott..🇦🇺🇦🇺
What an amazing idea!!!❤
What a wonderful thing u are doing dr Scott ❤
I am loving 12 Rescues of Christmas! Brilliant idea! So important to share, not just things, but our love for those who become our best friends and the best of us! Thank you doctor Scott!
more places should have Pet Food Banks like this not just in the UK but other countries too
❤
What kind of dog is Mango?
Great organization that fulfills a big need that pet owners may not be comfortable talking about. I know Scott's video will go a long way to change that. ❤ 🐾🐾
Wonderful idea! We need these banks everywhere…and for other pets, too!
They should have Doggy Food Banks EVERYWHERE!!! Becuz I’ve never seen one here in the US.
U should see what pet stores throw out in the trash!
What a great video Scott-another angle for keeping dogs happy and safe in these hard times. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all from 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🐾❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
You really are a caring vet. Thank you for all you do
I wish people in America cared as much about animals as what you guys do. We are like a third world country when it comes to how we treat our animals.
Thank you for pointing out Dogs Trust and others like it internationally, including U.S. I really appreciate your and everyone's efforts on behalf of animals. I also like your sweater!
❤❤
You are awesome bringing food and treats to the animal food bank to help owners feed their pets. Also, beds, blankets, and toys. Thank you so much. ❤ from Texas 🇨🇱 ! 🙋♀️ 🐕 🐈
It's a very good thing but don't forget the cats their familys can struggle too
What about cats?
We’ve had a pet pantry here in Eugene, Oregon for several years at our local shelter. Cats and dogs are supported by community members and local businesses who have pet food at expiration date but we know the food is fine at least 6 months beyond. We also provide items to our local food bank to provide to Meals on Wheels senior food services for people AND their pets.
I volunteered at an SPCA in Maryland for 9 years. My co-workers were always giving me blankets and towels and things like that to help out the shelter!!! Having been behind the scenes at the shelter, I can definitely say they were greatly needed!!! And appreciated!
Wow ❤ This could keep a dog with their owner, if the cost of feeding is the reason for giving them up.
Wow!! I am completely impressed, it is this a Pet food bank and perhaps grants or vouchers for Veterinary care that the whole world needs. I decided to look up anything in America, since I had never heard of it before, I tried searching for Pet food banks and can find none, so far. But it is an important service to provide, plus vouchers or grants for health care for our pets when surgery or something very expensive comes down to bare on us. Some people in video's I have seen in China for instance will abandon or even torture their animals for being sick. That is more than heartbreaking. I believe there must be laws for people who abandon and torture their animals, and more education because some people don't even see animals as sentient beings with all sorts of feelings with great value.
This is so wonderful. It makes so much sense to have food banks for pets as well.
What a wonderful service offered by Dogs Trust! Human food banks all over the place but not many pet food banks! Thanks for opening people's eyes not to forget about pets!❤
