PetSmart donated the food through its “Buy a Bag, Give a Meal” program. For every pet-food bag sold through the end of the year the company will donate a meal, both dog and cat food, for pets in need.

PetSmart has a goal of donating 60 million meals for pets through the program.

Trucks will be delivering the donated meals to the food bank on Tuesday morning.
