Pedigree will donate dog food for every QR code scanned on its packages at Walmart

The Pedigree petfood brand is teaming up with Walmart in a technology-driven initiative to help feed homeless dogs as part of "Pets Love Walmart" month in September.

Throughout the month of September, dog lovers can use their smartphone to scan the QR code on any Pedigree package sold at Walmart. For every QR code scanned, Pedigree will donate a bowl of dog food to an animal shelter, up to 500,000 8-ounce bowls.
"This program is truly revolutionary because it marks a new frontier in generating awareness and support for the plight of shelter dogs," said Lisa Campbell, senior brand manager,  Pedigree. "At Pedigree, our love for dogs is our driving passion so we were thrilled to facilitate yet another way people can make a difference in the life of a shelter dog. Scan a code, help a dog. It's that easy."
In September, Walmart will also host weekly educational demonstrations on pet ownership and will display local shelter information on its shelves.
