The charity Thin Blue Paw has announced it has partnered with Park Life to launch a range of dog treats that will support its central aim of helping retired police dogs.
Park Life said 100% of the sales profits from the new treats, called ‘Bravery Bones’, will be donated to Thin Blue Paw.
They are available in both Park Life’s and the charity’s respective online shops.
The initiative builds on Thin Blue Paw’s earlier collaboration with the Irish natural dog treat company, who in the past year, has sent treats and Christmas presents to dogs looked after by the foundation.
Commenting on his new product, Park Life founder Richard Marles said: “We’ve always supported dog charities but, as a small family business, we can still only do a limited amount. However, as we grow we want to do more and I hope that by getting Bravery Bones out there we will be able to raise awareness of the Thin Blue Paw.
“I love creating new products and this was great fun to work on. When I first heard of the Thin Blue Paw I thought it was such a worthy cause and I was shocked to find out that there is no state-funded support for police dogs in their retirement.”
Thin Blue Paw founder Kieran Stanbridge added: “We’re so grateful to Park Life for launching this amazing new product. Not only does it raise awareness of the incredible job these dogs do day in and day out, but it’s also helping to raise funds so we can be there for them when they hang up their harness.
“Police dogs don’t receive any financial support when they retire and many suffer injuries and conditions as a result of the physical strain of their job. We’re proud to be there for these heroes and their owners when they need us most, but we can only do it thanks to the support of our donors and to our amazing partners like Park Life.”
