Your puppy's year one milestones
Can you believe that your puppy is nearing their first birthday, and they're almost a grown-up!
They have done so much growing in this first year, learnt so many new things, and hopefully, you have had a fantastic time together as you’ve got to know each other. And this is just the beginning of your adventures! What a great time to reflect on all the new things from the year - and if you have any photos of their milestones to share - we'd love to see them on our Facebook page!

One of the best things about having a dog in your life is making the most of the time you have together to make lots of memories! Now that you’re really getting to know your dog, why not make a list of all the of things you'll both enjoy to aim for over the coming year?
Is your puppy covered for life for the cost of veterinary care?
