COMPETITION: Does your pet have the Christmas factor?

We are asking readers to submit pictures of their pets preparing for Christmas, and then vote for their favourite.

In association with Kendall’s Farm Butchers, we are inviting readers to send pictures of their pet decorated for Christmas, or pictured by your tree and decorations.

We will feature the pictures in our newspapers and online up to Christmas, and you will be able to vote for your favourite.

Pateley Bridge and Harrogate butcher Kendall’s has created its own selection of dog foods.

A special prize will be awarded to the winning pet.

So, take a picture of your pooch with a present, cat with a candy cane or snake in a stocking to the newsdesk.

Email your jpeg to [email protected] or share your picture on the homepage at www.harrogateadvertiser.co.uk.

Please include your name, address and pet’s name and breed (if applicable).

Alternatively, send your photograph to Christmas Pets, Harrogate Advertiser Series, 1 Cardale Park, Harrogate, HG3 1RZ.
