Petco and Merrick have partnered to give back to pet shelters during the holiday season. For each Merrick can of petfood purchased at Petco in November or December 2014, a meal will be donated to a rescue animal.

The companies will donate meals up to US$1 million of cans purchased to selected shelters:

• Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals
• PAWS Chicago
• Best Friends Animal Society

Special displays are up in Petco stores throughout the US so pet parents can learn about the promotion and pick up a can to help make a difference in a shelter animal's life.
