As many people know, there are many dog and cat shelters in Spain. In the Costa Blanca region alone, the number is already at 32 shelters.
Fortunately, there are also many people who try to support these shelters with a good heart through donations and/or volunteer work.
In practice, it often works out that people prefer not to donate money but do so through products. Think of dog or cat food, cleaning products, small tools for maintenance/repair of accommodations, toys, etc.
Despite the fact that we support all these generous initiatives, we (as a food supplier but also as family) have experienced that there is often an imbalance or dis-balance among the dogs. How does this happen?
Everyone can donate, the better off, but also the less fortunate. The challenge lies in this; People contribute what they can afford financially. In practice, this translates into shelters that receive a wide variety of food and logically also feed it.
The disadvantage of a constantly changing diet is that it leads to health problems in the dogs. An imbalance arises from which new problems arise. See it as a chain reaction that takes place. Certainly an environment in which many animals are relatively close together, without too much space or privileges.
