When?
From 3 April - 3 May 2010, you are invited to be a part of National Pet Month, sponsored by Argos. Thousands of people up and down the UK will be celebrating life with their pets, spreading the word on responsible pet ownership or raising money for their favourite charity in fun-filled events. Why not be a part of this?
