According to an organizational release, Petco Love works with 12 different university oncology partners, including:1
- Colorado State University Foundation

"Raising awareness for pet cancer and helping to fight this terrible disease is central to Blue Buffalo's mission," said Haley Perry, senior manager of consumer activation at Blue Buffalo.1 "We celebrate the treatment advances made to date, brought to life in the stories of Blake and Jubal while working towards a day when cancer will no longer devastate the lives of our furry family members."
The campaign will run from May 1, 2023, to May 28, 2023, with Blue Buffalo making a $1 donation to Petco Love for every purchase of Blue Buffalo dry food for both cats and dogs, up to $75,000.
