Students of KET College Erode with PFCI & Royal Canin Water Bowls
Global warming has caused rising temperatures and hotter summers. Animals face distress due to lack of water and suffer from parched throat and dehydration. The objective of the Water Bowl Challenge is to encourage people to place water bowls in their houses, terrace, balcony, garden, office, streets, and wherever possible to quench the thirst of birds and animals.
Access to clean water is a privilege for animals, who otherwise have to depend on unhygienic sources. Understanding their plight, Arun Prasanna, PFCI Founder requested everyone to place a bowl of water for animals. Since its inception, The Water Bowl challenge has attracted the attention of Celebrities, noted Industrialists, and Bureaucrats and their participation has helped spread awareness among people.
This year’s Water Bowl Challenge was partnered by reputed pet food brand, Royal Canin and Govind of Royal Canin said, “It’s an important cause to support considering this year’s summer has already scorching heat. One small step from Royal Canin in collaboration with PFCI towards making a better world for pets.”
In 2023, PFCI expects the same enthusiasm and excellent participation. The pandemic has raised significant awareness among people and made them sensitive to the care of Flora & Fauna. PFCI had been distributing Bowls since 2014.
