National Pet month

Next week sees the beginning of National Pet Month, which runs from April 1 until May 6, 2013, and this year it focuses on the companionship that our pets provide.

Taken from the National Pet Month website figures show that 50% of households in the UK own at least one pet and that equates to approximately 67 million pets in the UK alone so we are certainly a nation of animal lovers.

During this period animal charities, schools and colleges, even workplaces will be promoting responsible pet ownership and it is a brilliant opportunity to support your local animal charity too, whether financially or in a volunteer capacity at one of their events. Keep an eye out for an event near you, or register one if you have a fundraiser planned. Celebrities on board this year include fitness guru Rosemary Conley - who states that pets make you healthier, West End star Jodie Prenger and Doctors actress Lu Courfield, as well as TV vet Mark Abraham.
