Kids can get arty

Artistic pet lovers are being encouraged to put their creativity to the test.

Pets at Home, in Paisley’s Linwood Road, is inviting crafty young folk to let their imagination run wild by drawing, or writing, a story that illustrates what they would look like if they were an animal.

The five most creative animal alter egos from across the UK will be awarded with a bundle of pet goodies and treats.

They will also receive a personal photoshoot at their local Pets at Home store.

The competition is part of Pets at Home’s annual My Pet Pals campaign which aims to educate children on animal welfare and responsible pet ownership.

Fo r m o re d e t a i l s entrants can visit the website petsathome. com/ animalalterego.

The closing date for nominations is July 3 at noon.
