Banfield's 2007 Season Of Suppers(R), 'A Pet Food Drive For Pets In Need.'

PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine if you had to choose between nourishing yourself or nourishing your beloved Pet. Eldora Fitzgerald, who is homebound, used to share a portion of her once-a-day delivered meal with her Pet Dachshund, Pongo, until her Meals On Wheels program began providing donated Pet food. Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) has teamed up with Banfield, The Pet Hospital(R), along with its not-for-profit organization, the Banfield Charitable Trust (BCT) to kickoff the second year of Banfield's Season of Suppers(R), "a Pet food drive for Pets in need."

"When a single daily meal prepared for a person is shared with a Pet, neither one of them are getting the proper nourishment they need to stay healthy," says Karen Johnson, DVM, Vice President and Client Advocate, Banfield, The Pet Hospital and Board Member, Banfield Charitable Trust. "We know that the human-Pet bond contributes to longer, healthier lives for Pets and people-that's why Banfield, The Pet Hospital and the BCT are proud to partner with MOWAA regarding this important initiative."

After realizing that, like their owners, the Pets of many MOWAA recipients were also in need of nutritious food, MOWAA initiated We All Love Our Pets (WALOP), an initiative that enables local Meals On Wheels programs to begin or sustain pet food programs in order to nourish the Pets of seniors.

"While several of our Meals On Wheels programs have now started Pet feeding programs, the Banfield-MOWAA partnership is the first initiative of its kind on a national level," says Enid A. Borden, President and CEO, MOWAA. "Funds raised during Banfield's 2007 Season of Suppers will help sustain and expand WALOP at local Meals On Wheels programs throughout
