ANIMAL lovers will have a chance to celebrate their pets at the end of the month, with a special Love Your Pet Day at Webbs Garden Centre.

Visitors are being encouraged to come along and find out all about how to give their pets the best care, from animal experts, and meet alpacas, greyhounds and miniature ponies, as well as getting the chance to see a few more unusual creatures up close with an exotic animals roadshow.

A vet will be on site from 10-5pm microchipping dogs for free, and dog-owners can also show off their pets’ skills with a fun dog show, which is taking place on the day.

Dogs will be able to compete for prizes including most handsome dog, prettiest bitch, fancy dress, the best trick, best junior handler, and best in show.

Webbs chairman Ed Webb, said: “We are a nation of pet lovers and we want to celebrate that with our Love Your Pet Day. It’s a great chance for people to talk to our experts about pets, reptiles, chickens and fish and perhaps get up close to some creatures they haven’t met before. The dog show will be great fun and we are looking to see pets of all shapes and sizes taking part.”

The Love your Pet Day will be taking place at the Wychbold garden centre on Saturday, June 28 from 10am. Entry to the dog competition is £2 per class.
