ROYAL CANIN has officially announced that the Healthy Weight Competition is back by popular demand, following last year’s success. The competition is now open for entries to veterinary practices across the UK and Ireland.
The competition is designed to promote a healthy body shape in cats and dogs and recognise the hard work pet owners and veterinary nurses put in to maintaining a pet’s healthy weight. There are a variety of categories to enter for a variety of different weight management stages, including a dog or cat that has just started out on a weight loss programme, is currently maintaining a healthy shape following weight loss, or has always been at a healthy weight. These categories include: Best long-term weight management, best combined pet and owner weight loss, best starter, best before and after photo and best journey. To reward pets and owners alike, there are fantastic prizes up for grabs, including the top prize of a £1,000 holiday voucher
Sarah Collins, Veterinary Marketing Executive at ROYAL CANIN, said: “At ROYAL CANIN we have supported vet nurses and practice staff across the UK and Ireland with weight management for years. This competition is a great opportunity to showcase the fantastic work these people put into keeping their pets healthy.
“With last year’s competition receiving 360 entries, we are excited to open the competition once again. Last year we had two Labradors lose over 6.5kg and a six year old pug reduce his bodyweight by 15% in six months, so we look forward to seeing more successful weight management results from this year.”
The Health Weight Competition is now open for entries from pets new to the competition, as well as those already registered, including those who entered in 2016. For every pet entered into the 2017 competition, both pet owner and veterinary nurse, will receive a complementary gift. Pets can only be entered into the competition by their vet nurse. To enter, please register at www.royalcaninhealthyweight.co.uk or ask your Veterinary Business Manager for a paper entry form. Entries will close on Tuesday 31st January 2017, allowing pets and owners plenty of time to partake in a successful weight management journey.
