Commemorative canine stamps to be launched

Posted : 22-01-2008

Consumers who are crazy for canines may well find that they are interested in a set of special stamps which are due to be released by the Royal Mail in the next few weeks.

The Working Dogs collection celebrates the work of pooches in a range of areas and commemorates the 100-year anniversary of the first police dogs used in the UK.

Comprising six stamps, which feature specially commissioned photography by Tim Flach, the collection demonstrates the way in which dogs help humans in many different walks of life.

Head of special stamps at the Royal Mail Julietta Edgar tells UKPets.co.uk: "It's easy to forget that there's a 'secret army' of thousands of hardworking dogs who make a real difference to many lives."

Consumers who wish to ensure that their dogs are healthy and happy for as long as possible may find that they benefit from investing in pet insurance to help them cope with any veterinary fees.

Meanwhile, provider LV= recently stated that pet insurance has "never been more important" for owners due to rising treatment costs.
