There’s a new love triangle in town; you, the love of your life and a lovable ball of fur on four legs.

We can no longer deny that we’re a nation of pet lovers after new research revealed that 62 per cent of pet owners see their pet as a companion, with more than a quarter of us describing them as our best friend.

We are offering you the chance to treat your love with one of ten food packages worth £50 each.

Taking the love that one step further, a recent survey by Vetsure Pet Insurance found that 75 per cent of people described their pet as being equally if not more important than other family members (sorry Nan).

With 19 per cent describing their pet as a good listener and a further 36 per cent saying they are most likely to find comfort in their pet on a day-to-day basis, perhaps relying on our pet is more paw-pular than we thought?
