If you think your pet is cuter than any other pet out there, now is your chance to prove it.

The Sidmouth and Ottery Herald is launching its Pet of the Year competition and giving you the chance to nominate your trusted companions. It doesn’t need to be a dog or a cat, maybe you’ve got a handsome horse, a pretty parrot, or a trusty tortoise. Whether it has fur, feathers, or scales, you can nominate it for a chance of being crowned Pet of the Year.

Anyone who wishes to nominate their pet can do so by visiting http://bit.ly/HeraldPets. All nominated pets will appear in a special supplement in-paper on November 5, where readers will then be tasked with choosing their favourite.

You have until October 17 to nominate your pet, so get out your cameras, capture your pets’ good sides, and get involved.
