Enthusiasm for Pets

Pets are an important part of many British families.

Cats and dogs are the most favourite pets in Britain.

People like to spend time with their pets.

Nowadays some dog owners are more extreme.

A few celebrities even take their dogs shopping

or to restaurants in their handbags.

People are not just buying their pets

the latest clothes and accessories.

They are also giving them holidays.

Many UK hotels and holiday parks now welcome dogs as guests.

Dog owners can leave their pets at a dog hotel or dog spa

while they are away.

"A dog is for life and not just for Christmas"

is the famous slogan of one British charity

who finds homes for lost and abandoned dogs.

The slogan was created to teach people

about the responsibility of owning a dog.

The charity told British people

not to give dogs as gifts or treat them like toys.
