 National Pet Month 2008
A time to celebrate Great British Pets.
National Pet Month returns in April 2008, celebrating pets and animals throughout the United Kingdom. Promoting responsible pet ownership, last year’s move to a month-long fundraising event saw it become the most successful to date in the charity’s 18 year history.
Over 690 events held across the UK raised around £69,000 for local pet and animal charities. With the help of our nation’s pet lovers, the aim is to smash this record in 2008.
National Pet Month (NPM) will run from 5th April 2008 to 5th May 2008 with numerous events that the public can get involved in. It’s time to start planning fundraising escapades now whether its from cute kitten photo competitions and pet grooming classes to entirely doggy-themed fun days - all helping to highlight animal welfare.

 Culminating in Wet Nose Day on 23rd April to tie in with St George’s Day, this national event will celebrate animals great and small; from hamsters to horses, llamas to labradoodles and cats to cockatoos to raise valuable funds.
Phil Sketchley, chairman of NPM said:
“National Pet Month was so successful in 2007 we are pleased to announce these month-long celebrations will be continuing in 2008. Iams are once again the principal sponsor, and with their involvement we are confident we will achieve the best results yet.”
Monica Lundervold from Iams said:
“National Pet Month provides much needed funds to animal charities across the UK at a local level and Iams is proud to be principal sponsor once again. It is a great opportunity to commemorate Great British Pets, and promote responsible pet ownership.
We hope that our sponsorship will continue to allow National Pet Month to reach out to even more people, and help to raise more money."
