Save the Dogs

Arcaplanet has always been actively committed to animal welfare, offering products and services designed for their well-being and promoting awareness campaigns for the protection and care of animals, in collaboration with its customers, associations, and the local communities in which it operates. For this reason, the brand has chosen to actively support, together with United Pets, the special initiative “A Bowl to Feed Solidarity”, part of the broader project “Friends on the Street, Companions for Life”.

Launched by Save the Dogs in 2021, the initiative has so far provided support to 353 pets and 236 pet parents, offering them essential care kits, medical assistance, vaccinations, microchipping, and free neutering services, in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan and the ATS Veterinary Service.

At the heart of the initiative is the sale of a special limited-edition bowl, exclusively available in 330 Arcaplanet stores starting from May 10, 2025. For each bowl purchased, United Pets will donate one euro to Save the Dogs, helping to provide assistance and veterinary care to the animals of homeless or low-income individuals in Milan. The Arcaplanet Foundation will double the donation, further strengthening the support for Save the Dogs’ Street Unit.

Thanks to the “Friends on the Street, Companions for Life” project, since 2021 Save the Dogs has supported 283 dogs and 70 cats. In 2024 alone, the initiative welcomed 135 new users, bringing the total number of people supported to 236. The activities of the Street Unit have doubled, with 81 outreach missions carried out during the year. Each intervention involves a team of 35 professionals, including coordinators, volunteers, and veterinarians.
