What is National Pet Month all about?
National Pet Month is a time to raise awareness about pets and animals and for owners to practice good pet ownership.
The aims of the month are:
* For people to understand the important role that working animals play.
* To ensure that people understand the benefits of owning a pet and how pet owners make a big difference to animals lives.
* To let people know about the various products and services that are available to pet owners from specialists.
* For people to take their role as a responsible pet owner seriously.
There are many things you could do to get involved and play your part in National Pet Month.
This includes;
* Raffles
* Competitions
* Pet Walks
* Jumble Sales
