Charity Overview 2019
zooplus helps: our donation highlights 2019
The zoolove Charity Week
To commemorate our 20th anniversary, the Charity Week took place in June 2019. And because 20 years of zooplus were a real reason to celebrate, we also donated 20% of the retail price of zoolove products to a good cause. The international animal protection organisation FOUR PAWS was selected as the donation recipient. During the campaign period, a donation of €159,000 was collected, which benefited the organisation's diverse animal welfare projects in Europe.
Charity of the Month Partners
Every three months, zooplus.co.uk teams up with a British pet charity to give you the chance to help animals that are not as lucky as your own. You collect zooPoints each time you shop at zooplus and these zooPoints can be donated to the nominated charity in our Reward Shop. At the end of the three-month partnership, we convert your generous zooPoints donations into a fantastic parcel of food and accessories for our chosen animal charity.
Thanks to each and every one of you, in 2019 we managed to donate roughly 60 to 70 parcels to each of our wonderful charity partners - filled to the brim with food, toys and accessories!
Here are some pictures of the parcels received by our chosen Charity of the Month - food, treats and accessories!

Donations from zooplus warehouses
Zooplus have a low return of goods. Nevertheless, it can happen that a customer sends the goods back. All returns are checked upon receipt. If a product returns to us undamaged and unopened, it will be carefully checked by us. The products classified as reusable are donated to selected, registered animal welfare organisations in various countries.
Time to share: The zoolove Christmas donation
Christmas – a time for togetherness, reflection, love and tranquility. But it is also a time for gifts and giving.
We believe that all pets deserve love, affection and care throughout the year, not just at Christmas. That’s why, together with you, we support charities and their excellent work all year round.
During the weeks before Christmas, zooplus will increase the zoolove donation share to 20%! If you want to do something good together with us, then pop a zoolove product in your basket for your pet to enjoy next time you shop before 22nd December. The donation of 20% of the sale price of this item will benefit an animal welfare organisation. We will announce the recipient of the donations at the end of the campaign. Our existing Charity Partner of the Month will receive an additional 20% on top of the 10% they'd usually get as part of this donation campaign.
