Petshop Science & Montego Pet Nutrition set GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for largest donation of?pet food in 24 hours
A new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the largest donation of?pet food in 24 hours period was set at the Bloem Show by Petshop Science and Montego Pet Nutrition.
Driven by strong public support at the popular agricultural and entertainment event in Bloemfontein, Petshop Science and Montego Pet Nutrition collected 67,200kg of pet food – surpassing the previous record of 36,750kg set in the United States in 2023.
The record attempt ran from Friday, 1 May at 17:00 to Saturday, 2 May at 17:00, with GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS officials verifying each donation, and independently witnessing the process before confirming the final total.
All donations collected will be distributed to eight registered animal welfare organisations in the Free State, with additional allocations to shelters in other provinces.
“It shows what is possible when people rally behind a cause,” says Trevor Paxton, General Manager for Petshop Science. “A record is one thing, but what matters is where this food is going—and the difference it will make.”
“This record gave us an opportunity to shine a light on the extraordinary dedication of the people who run our animal rescues. We are proud of what this partnership with Petshop Science achieved and equally committed to the long work that continues beyond it,” says Johan van Jaarsveld, Managing Director at Montego Pet Nutrition.
The record is in addition to R3.3 million worth of pet food and accessories Petshop Science donated to 35 animal welfare organisations across South Africa in the past financial year
Since launching in 2021, Petshop Science has expanded to 174 stores nationwide and continues to grow its footprint across all nine provinces including through its partnership with Sixty60.

The point of Public Relations slogans like \”Support Our Troops\” is that they don\’t mean anything … that\’s the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody is going to be against and I suppose everybody will be for, because nobody knows what it means, because it doesn\’t mean anything. But its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something, do you support our policy? And that\’s the one you\’re not allowed to talk about. – Noam Chomsky

I think she [Eleanor Roosevelt] was a shrewd politician, and very good in Public Relations, although she had the usual media help in this. As a Republican and a conservative, I can say ruefully that the Democrats and the liberals tend to get it; that when she said something, it was put in a nice way and highlighted properly by the appropriate media, so that it sounded good. – William A. Rusher

The other thing that gives a scientific man the creeps in the world today are the methods of choosing leaders – in every nation. Today, for example, in the United States, the two political parties have decided to employ Public Relations men, that is, advertising men, who are trained in the necessary methods of telling the truth or lying in order to develop a product. – Richard P. Feynman
