They have now set up 66 pet food banks in community centres across central Scotland, the Lothians and the Scottish Borders. "A pet is part of the family and every pet we can feed is a pet that can stay in a loving, warm, safe home without fear," he said.No voucher is needed to receive food for pets, and they also provide leads, toys, balls, bowls, harnesses and even animal climbing frames.Chris said he had initially been too embarrassed to go for "a handout".
