Together, We've Donated More Than $200,000 to Animals in Need
Every time you choose About A Dog, you're choosing to help an animal somewhere across Australia.
Whether you've ordered toilet paper, pet wipes or dog poo bags, you've helped provide veterinary care, food, shelter and second chances to animals who need them most. What started as a simple idea to make everyday purchases more meaningful has become something far bigger than we ever imagined, and that's only possible because of you.
This quarter alone, from April to June 2026, you helped raise $23,942 for animal welfare organisations across Australia.
That brings the total donated through the About A Dog community to an incredible $207,466.

Why This Matters
Every dollar donated helps an organisation continue doing the work that animals depend on.
Your support helps fund emergency veterinary treatment, surgeries and rehabilitation for injured wildlife and rescued pets. It provides food, medication, safe shelter and foster care while animals recover and wait for a second chance.
It also helps keep the doors open for the many small shelters and rescue organisations across Australia that receive little or no government funding. These passionate teams rely on their communities to continue helping animals every day, and thanks to your support, they're able to help even more.
When you shop with About A Dog, you're proving that everyday essentials really can make an extraordinary difference.
From All of Us, Thank You
Reaching $200,000 donated is something we never could have achieved on our own.
To every customer who has placed an order, shared our mission with friends and family, or simply chosen a charity at checkout, thank you for believing in what we're building together.
This milestone belongs to every single one of you, and to the incredible rescue organisations working tirelessly to give animals the care, safety and love they deserve.
Here's to helping even more animals over the next quarter.
