The first festive pets are here!

We’ve had lots of entries to this year’s Festive Pets competition already – here are the ones in this week’s paper.

Festive Pets is back and now is your chance to send in a photo of your pet in Christmas finery and be in with the chance to win a £100 Rooke’s voucher.
We will publish all the pictures submitted – quality of image permitting – and choose a winner early in the New Year.

Email a picture (1MB or more in size) to [email protected] and put Festive Pets in the subject line.

Please include the pet’s name, age and address, along with a daytime contact number so we can get in touch with you easily if you’re a winner.

You can also post a print to Spalding and South Holland Voice, 2 Goodison Road, Lincs Gateway Business Park, Spalding, PE12 6FY.

Please ensure your details are included and the closing date for entries is noon on Tuesday, December 24.

Remember – it’s not just cats and dogs that we love as our faithful pets – we want to see Christmasy everythings! So tinsel your turkey and get your fishes festive – all pets deserve a chance to win.

Spalding.

If your pet hasn’t appeared yet don’t worry, it’ll be in the paper and online over the coming weeks.
