£49 could help us to provide essential therapeutic grooming for our dogs. Grooming is important for all dogs, but sadly some arrive at Battersea in a very poor state and need extra help like Zelda the Cockapoo.

Eleven-month-old stray Zelda had heavily overgrown, matted fur and lots of sores around her ears, making her very uncomfortable. Our groomers got to work straightaway, removing over a kilo of fur, easing her discomfort, and allowing her affectionate personality to shine through. She soon caught the eye of a family in London, where she’s now enjoying lots of affection and lap time.

The grooming package could help improve the health and wellbeing of our dogs, with a much-needed bath, special skin soothing treatments, and the removal of matted fur.

Your purchase of our Battersea Virtual Gifts is considered a donation and will be used where it is most needed, ensuring our canine friends have plenty of toys to stay active, treats to keep them happy, and the essential care they need.
