Mandela Day has always been about doing something good and doing it together. This year, our team at Complete Pet Nutrition took that to heart as we loaded up vehicles across the country with bags of food and a shared mission to give back.

Over the course of the day, we visited 15 shelters and animal welfare organisations in six provinces, delivering a total of 2 519 kilograms of pet food. That’s 237 bags filled with complete and balanced nutrition for the dogs and cats that need it most.
Our team was met with open arms, happy pups, and plenty of purring gratitude. Every stop was a reminder that while the need is great, so is the heart of the people working every day to care for South Africa’s most vulnerable animals.

Why it matters
At Complete, we believe that every pet deserves a full bowl and a healthy start. Whether they are in a loving home or waiting in a shelter, good nutrition lays the foundation for a better life.
That belief sits at the heart of everything we do. For over 20 years, we have been part of the pet care community in South Africa, working closely with pet shop owners to support their businesses and improve their service to pet parents. Our product range is designed to meet the needs of dogs at every life stage, breed size, and budget, with consistent quality you can trust.

As proud members of The Pet Food Industry Association of Southern Africa, we are committed to upholding the highest standards in pet nutrition. Our food undergoes regular regulation testing to ensure safety and nutritional integrity, so that every scoop helps pets thrive.

Thank you for being part of the journey
Mandela Day may come once a year, but our commitment to doing good never stops. Every bag delivered was made possible by the continued support of the pet parents who choose Complete.
To the shelters and NPOs who welcomed us so warmly, thank you for the work you do every single day. We will keep showing up to lend a paw, fill a bowl, and support the teams making a difference.
Together, we can keep tails wagging and bowls full.
