Speaking to Hello! magazine, Mayhew's CEO Caroline Yates reportedly explained: "Whenever we talk to the Duchess about the charity, she always references how important her dogs are and what a support they are, particularly during everything that's happened this year, with COVID, and with the personal trials and tribulations she went through this year."
Caroline went on to add: "It was really nice to share our experiences with her about how important animals are when things are tough and what a comfort they can be.”
"That's what Mayhew is all about, that's what we want to try and encourage, we want to try to promote the human-animal bond and what a great source of comfort and stimulation, and joy pet ownership can be."
