Feed firm keeping animal charities afloat

A YORKSHIRE-BASED feed business is doing its bit to keep animal charities afloat during the coronavirus pandemic.

Boroughbridge-based Regency Feeds is a long-established business specialising in the manufacturing and wholesaling of animal feeds and bedding.

In the last few days, the company has taken to social media to offer animal charities free dog food and treats for their rescue dogs; to help see them through the difficult period created by the coronavirus pandemic.

Regency Feeds was initially offering 20 bags of their 15kg Regency Adult Complete Biscuits and 20 bags of Regency Dog Treats to animal charities that their followers felt were most in need.

A spokesman said: “The company was overwhelmed when the social media post really took off with more than 1,900 comments and decided to increase their donation and help a total of 30 animal charities.”

Social media executive, Danial Ahmed, said: “I was expecting a good response as it’s a difficult time for people and animal charities, but I was astounded by the response.

”Our Facebook page just went mad, with notifications every few seconds. We wish we could help all the charities but for now I’m delighted that we’ve been able to help 30. They have been so grateful. It has really been humbling.”

The spokesman added: “Throughout the Covid-19 crisis the company is still working to keep supplying animal food.

“They offer delivery of the products, and are taking all necessary precautions to protect their customers, pets and their staff.”
