The Myton Hospices is inviting pet owners to enter its 'Positively Pawfect' virtual pet show this June.

The fundraising event will have ten categories to enter with prizes available for all the winners.

Submissions can be made online until 30 June 2021 with the winners announced on Wednesday 7 July.

To register online, take a photo or video of your furry, feathered or scaly friend and submit it for judging.

Entry costs just £3 per category and you can enter as many categories as you want as long as your pet fits the bill.

All money raised will play a vital role in enabling The Myton Hospices to continue to support people with a life-limiting illness, and their families, across Coventry and Warwickshire.

Rebecca Richards, Events Manager at Myton, said: "We were blown away by the support we received for our Virtual Dog Show in the height of the pandemic last year and wanted to open up the fun to all pet owners this time around.

"The Virtual Pet Show is a great way to have some fun, share the pleasure of your wonderful pet with the Myton community and raise vital funds for a local charity too.

"Not forgetting the chance to win some fantastic prizes and the title of Best in Category or even Best in Show!"
