PAWS FOR MENTAL HEALTH // @parachutesforpetsyeg #NoEmptyBowls is a special collaboration with @mcdavid97 furry bestie, Lenny McDavid, created around one simple idea: every pet deserves a full bowl. When Lenny’s dad re-signed his contract in 2025, he joked that no matter what, Lenny’s bowl would always be full, and we believe every pet deserves that same certainty. #NoEmptyBowls turns that idea into real impact. Every purchase helps support our amazing client @parachutesforpets Pet Food Bank and Safekeeping programs, providing food, supplies, and care to families facing financial hardship, housing instability, or crisis. Because the reality is… the need is growing, and too many people are being forced to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pet. P4P is here to change that. A full bowl means more than just food, it means comfort, stability, and keeping pets with the people who love them. This collection was brought to life with the support of Blonde Ambition, who generously volunteered their time and creativity to help turn this idea into something that gives back. Shop the collection online now and keep an eye out, it will be available at our You Thrifty Animal locations later this week 👀 Link in @parachutesforpetsyeg bio or below! 🔗: /coming-soon-02
