Betty White Promotes Pet Cancer Awareness Month

Morris Animal Foundation’s efforts to fund pet cancer research.

For each bag of Blue Buffalo dog or cat food purchased at PETCO stores across the country during the month of May, one dollar will be donated to Morris Animal Foundation. Customers can also round up their in-store PETCO purchases to the next dollar at the register, and donations of any amount will also be accepted at PETCO registers or at PETCO’s official website.

For more than 40 years Betty White has been a trustee of The Morris Animal Foundation, which has funded more than 1,700 studies which have led to animal health breakthroughs in diagnostics, treatments, prevention and cures. Last year, The Blue Buffalo Co. and PETCO were able to raise $800,000 for the benefit of The Morris Animal Foundation’s research, and the $1 million goal for 2011’s campaign will offer further hope of beating the disease which takes the lives of one in four dogs and cats.
