Being gorgeous can be so tiring… Snoopy the seven-year-old greyhound takes a break from entertaining Rena and Drew Wallace in Kinghorn, Fife, to catch up on his beauty sleep. Not that he needs it. You can’t improve on perfection, Snoopy!

If you would like to see your pet in the Your Life supplement, please send your high-resolution (good-quality) photographs to pets@dctmedia.co.uk

Please ensure you tell us your pet’s name, your own name and address, and where the picture was taken. There may be a short delay before it appears. Photos must be hi-res to print.

Each week, we will select a winning photograph and the lucky owner will receive a £50 Pets At Home gift card. At a time where costs are increasing, we’d like to make life a little easier for our readers. You can spend the voucher on essentials such
as food and bedding, or just spoil your furry friend with a new toy or some tasty treats.
