-

IN SEARCH of Australia’s cutest pets, Petbarn is calling on Toowoomba residents to enter their fur-babies in the Puppy and Kitten of the Year competitio­n.

Taking place for the second year running, Petbarn launched the competitio­n to find the country’s most adorable four-legged friends and to help new pet owners celebrate the achievemen­t of raising a healthy puppy and kitten with their online community.

Petbarn Toowoomba store manager Melita Carylon said it was important to give puppies and kittens the best possible start in life.

“At this early stage of a pet’s life, it’s crucial that pet parents seek an expert opinion to advise how they can best give animals a healthy start with their family,” she said.

“At Petbarn Toowoomba, our team can provide support for new puppy and kitten owners by offering advice on nutrition and teaching locals about pet safety, such as how to puppy proof the home.”

Greencross Toowoomba regional director Adam Jeffreys said bringing a new pet into the family could raise questions for owners.

“Our team is on hand for any questions, as we want to ensure your pet starts life with their best paw forward,” he said.

Puppy and kitten owners can nominate their pet for Petbarn’s Puppy and Kitten of the Year competitio­n from now until Friday, October 26 at www.petbarn.com.au.

During this time Australian­s will also have the opportunit­y to vote for their favourite entry online.

By entering a photo of your puppy or kitten, Toowoomba residents have the chance to win a $1000 Petbarn voucher.

One puppy and one kitten will be crowned Australia’s puppy or kitten of the year, which is determined by the entrant who receives the most votes.
