OUR pets have been spoilt during lockdown, with them getting more treats and time with their owners than ever before.
Some have decided to use their time chilling out in the garden, while others have been offering a helping paw as we work from home due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Plenty of our pets have loved the fact that we’ve been home so much more since lockdown restrictions were first put in place at the end of March.
If you want to see your pet appearing in our pages, simply complete our online form.
