Does your animal have the pets' factor?

Posted : 19-09-2007

Owners of talented pets in Perth are being invited to take their animals along to a Pets' Factor competition on September 29th, it has been revealed.

Perth and Kinross council is organising the event to raise awareness about encouraging owners to be more responsible for the hygiene of their pets as well as being fun.

Greenspace ranger Fergus Cook told the Perthshire Advertiser that the event has proved popular in other areas including Edinburgh.

"On past experience I expect about 100 entrants and a crowd over the day of several hundred, it could be very busy," he said.

Pets that are allowed to degenerate in their standards of hygiene run the risk of becoming sick and requiring veterinary procedures - which could result in the need for an expensive claim on their pet insurance.

It was recently reported that September is Pet Smile month and almost 1,500 veterinary facilities across the UK are offering free oral checks for animals to raise awareness about animal health.
