For the third year, Merial is dedicated to assisting animals in the face of disasters by supporting the Paws to Save Pets^TM program, which benefits the Petfinder.com Foundation and the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF). Since the program began, Merial has donated more than $2 million to aid animals affected by hurricanes, forest fires, floods and more. In 2007, Merial will make a donation through the Paws to Save Pets program to the Petfinder.com and the AVMF, in equal amounts, up to a total donation of $1 million.* The Paws to Save Pets program funds disaster preparation and relief for pets.
