Dog and cat owners can win £200 voucher with a photo of their pet

Animed has launched a competition celebrating the joy pets bring, with one lucky owner winning a £200 voucher for pet food, medicine and supplies. Enter before January 25

Blue Monday, dubbed the ‘most depressing day of the year’, has officially passed, yet plenty of people might still be battling the blues. There’s one brilliant way to inject some cheer back into life, though – by celebrating our beloved pets and the sheer joy they bring us.

Pet retailer Animed has kicked off a competition inviting owners to share a tale and snap of how their four-legged companion has brightened their day, with a £200 voucher up for grabs. The contest is open to all UK residents aged 18+ and couldn’t be easier to enter.

It’s a fantastic chance for pet parents to express just how much their animals mean to them, whilst potentially bagging some goodies and treats into the bargain. All participants need to do is visit Animed’s website and complete the form before January 25 – though it’s limited to one entry per person.

No purchase is required to take part, and pet owners must give Animed consent to use their submitted stories and photos across its own platforms. The lucky winner will be notified by January 31, with the £200 voucher valid for six months for online purchases only.

For anyone unfamiliar with Animed, the company stocks everything from medications and specialist feeds to top-quality toys and accessories. According to the brand, every item is carefully selected by professionals and all prescriptions are verified by a qualified vet, reports the Daily Record.

What’s more, for ultimate ease, everything arrives directly at pet owners’ doorsteps. The brand isn’t limited to cats and dogs either, as there’s a range for horses, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, birds and exotic pets as well.

The website states there’s complimentary delivery for UK Mainland purchases of £49 and above, and dog products feature treats for under £1 alongside dry and wet food options. For instance, there’s the Natures Menu Freeze Dried Meat Bites Dog Treats Lamb (15g) for £0.95 or the Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Expert Neutered Large Breed Dry Dog Food (12kg) for £58.99.

For felines, for instance, there are the Felix Crispies Salmon And Trout Cat Treats (45g) for £0.84, slashed from £1.05, currently. There’s also the top-selling Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Urinary S/O Dry Cat Food (7kg) on offer for £55.99.

As an alternative, customers could consider Pooch and Mutt. This brand claims its food is vet-approved, crafted with natural ingredients, and tailored for ‘all breeds and needs’, and there’s the chance to enjoy 25% off with subscriptions.

Alternatively, there’s Pure Pet Food as another choice for dog owners, which stocks a natural, wholesome dog food that simply requires water added to create a nourishing meal. The brand is presently offering 30% off customers’ first box and 10% off the next box.

Turning to Animed, the company boasts an ‘Excellent’ rating on Trustpilot with over 350,000 reviews, with 90% awarding five stars. One satisfied customer shared: “This is my third delivery now and each time I truly cannot fault them. Each time the delivery has turned up earlier than expected, this time round it was due the Fri but arrived Tues in the nick of time as I’d run out that day due to ordering it late by mistake. Every delivery is always well packaged and complete. Will 100% be sticking with you now for my cats meds he needs to be on for the rest of his life. Thank you for such an amazing service.”

Another happy shopper commented: “A good price, very easy to use, I always check their website and it’s very comparable. Great delivery just as they said. Very pleased all round.”

However, not all feedback was entirely positive, with one reviewer noting: “Great for ordering and reasonably prompt delivery. Subscriptions service seems unwieldy and very difficult to change delivery/amount of product without just cancelling a delivery.”

Despite this, the overwhelming majority were delighted. Another customer remarked: “Brilliant service as always. Quick delivery Thank you.”
