Peter Vardy Newsroom
Let’s be honest… our pets rule the roost! While the dog has always been man’s best friend recently we have developed a culture of pampered pooches, mollycoddled moggies & fussed after fish.
With the rise of doggie hotels & cat strollers (yes, really) we are more concerned about the welfare of our furry friend’s than ever. In fact, in a recent study by Confused.com/K9 Media found that 90% of owners took their pets out in their cars twice a week or more & that their pet was the paramount deciding factor when selecting a new car. To make things easier we at Peter Vardy have compiled the following list to help ensure wagging tails. Complete with comprehensive 1- 5
