A new competition has launched to hunt for the UK's best pet, and we think it might be here in Milton Keynes.
Since pets up and down the country have such an impact on their owners’ lives during the pandemic, with each pet and owner having their own unique bond, pet business insurance provider Protectivity is asking households to share their lockdown pet stories in a bid to find the UK’s Best Pet.
The winner of the UK's Best Pet will receive £100 of vouchers split between Canvas Creatures and Pet Planet to purchase a treat for both themselves and their pet. A further £100 will also be donated to the animal charity of the winner’s choice.
Entering the competition is simple; residents must simply fill out the entry form explaining how their pet has helped them this year.
Sean Walsh, Marketing Manager at Protectivity, says: "Our pets really can make a huge difference to our lives and I think we’ve really seen the true extent of this over the last 12 months or so in particular. We know that previous studies have shown that dogs can have a de-stressing effect on us, with dogs also used for therapy purposes in prisons and other settings - but the same can be said for other pets too.
“Over the last year, all of our pets, whatever species, have provided us with not just company but a focus and purpose too. When at our lowest points, knowing that we have a responsibility of care for our pets can be just enough to get us up in the morning. So that being said, if your pet has made a real difference to your life during the pandemic, we’d love to hear your stories."
The competition closes on 23rd February, so get entering to be in with the chance of winning.
