Tomorrow, it’s World Animal Day !

The first purpose of this day is to improve the status of animals to improve their living conditions and their welfare in the world.

World Animal Day in Switzerland

Qualipet collects material for pets to give it to shelters, in association with the Susy Utzinger Foundation.
The annual collection “Give the paw” of Maxi Zoo (French) / Fressnapf (German) will help the operation “Homes of life in Switzerland” from ProTier – Foundation for the animal protection and the ethics, as well as the “Fund for old and difficult to place pets” of the Swiss Animal Welfare this year.
Several food brands as well as Coop support the Swiss Protection of Animals PSA by giving 10 centimes by product sold between October 4th to 15th.

Are you aware of other actions in Switzerland ?

You too, get involved !

Sponsor an animal with an organization of animal welfare.
Give time to an organization of animal welfare to have an information booth.
Organize a collection for an association or a shelter.
Donate to an organization or a shelter.
Give food or material to a shelter.
Give time to a shelter to walk dogs or do some cleaning (not only this day, but long-term).
Thank the staff of a refuge, your veterinarian, or quite different person who contributes to the well-being of animals.
Make your balcony or your garden welcoming for the wild life.
