Everyone believes their cat or dog is the best, and now M&S Money is giving animal lovers the chance to show the world why.
Pet insurance provider M&S Money has launched a new competition looking for a cat or dog with true star quality to feature in a future marketing campaign.

The winning pet will have a professional photo shoot and be featured in promotional material for a forthcoming M&S Pet Insurance campaign. While the winning pet is enjoying the new found stardom, its owner will take away £100 in M&S gift vouchers.
Judith Roberts, M&S Insurance Manager, said: "This competition gives cat and dog lovers the chance to show the world why their pet is one in a million. We are really looking forward to seeing your photos and hearing why your cat or dog is so special."
