National Pet Day 2025 is upon us today, Friday, April 11, and we asked to see photos of your animal friends. We asked if you have the best pet in Dorset.
Many of you resoundingly replied ‘yes’!
We wanted to know if you have a lovely dog or cheeky cat? Or maybe a chilled lizard or playful fish?
We wanted to see all your photos and you responded in your droves! It’s abundantly clear that Dorset is a county of pet lovers.
We were overwhelmed with all the incredible pictures of pets you sent us.
National Pet Day celebrates the joy that pets bring into peoples lives and encourages people to help reduce the number of animals in shelters.
Scroll down to see these adorable pets on National Pet Day 2025.
And it’s not too late to add your pet today to this photo gallery if you haven’t done so already. You can do so here.
