Support for National Pet Month

Spring is in the air and with Easter approaching April presents the perfect month to introduce a new addition to your family, whether that be a pedigree puppy or a cross breed puppy.

Not only is April a very popular month to purchase a puppy, it is also National Pet Month which aims to raise the awareness of responsible pet ownership.

In its 28^th year, National Pet Month is a national celebration which promotes responsible pet ownership amongst thousands of pet owners, and helps to raise funds for pet charities throughout the UK.

From the beginning of the process, such as selecting the breed of puppy which best suits you and your family, to the after care for your puppy when they arrive home, Douglas Hall Kennels are with you every step of the way. Find out why to choose the best Lancashire Dog Kennels here. In addition to the support you will receive from us, here are National Pet Month’s Top 10 Tips for Responsible Pet Ownership:
