Chew Appeal: Send a Treat to Our Puppies in Training

Our puppies in training get through plenty of chews while they learn, grow and practise settling. If you’d like to pop a little something in the post for them, our Chew Appeal is a simple way to help with some of the everyday items we use at AADI HQ.

There are some very busy puppy teeth at AADI HQ

Training to become an Assistance Dog or School Support Dog involves plenty of learning, but puppies also need time to switch off, settle and simply be puppies.

And sometimes, that means having a really good chew.

We’re currently looking for donations of some of the chews our puppies regularly enjoy:

• Nylabone Puppy Bone, Chicken, X-Large
• Small Deer Antlers
• Multifit Natural Bull Pizzle

These can be purchased online or from your local pet shop.

Why a packet of chews helps

AADI relies heavily on fundraising and the generosity of the public to provide our services to autistic children, families and schools across Ireland.

That support comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it is a fundraiser or a donation. Sometimes it is a parcel arriving at the office with exactly the things our puppies need that week.

Donating chews helps us with the everyday costs of raising and training our dogs, while giving the puppies something appropriate to occupy those teeth during downtime.

And judging by the reaction when a new chew appears, the puppies certainly appreciate it too.

Want to treat the puppies?

You can drop your donation into AADI HQ or send it by post to:

Whether it’s one chew or a little box of them, thank you. You’ll be helping keep a puppy occupied, happy and ready for their next training session.

Be part of the community helping our puppies grow into the dogs families and schools across Ireland are waiting for.
