Could your pet be the cutest in the region?

Put your opinion to the test with our weekly Pet Portraits gallery, where your beloved companion could be among the most adorable animals in the area.

Congratulations to this week’s winner Buddy, who you will see at the very top of our gallery. Owner Lesley Lord took this sweet boy for his first trip to the dog groomers and he sure scrubs up well!


Check out our gallery below

It looks like brilliant Buddy enjoyed his first trip to the dog groomer. The dapper dog belongs to Lesley Lord from New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire.
So many stylish pets this week! Glamorous Glory rocks her knitwear during a trip to Melness, Sutherland, with Natalia Mackay from Stoneywood.
Oh, Jess, we would come and play if we could! The gorgeous girls looks impatient for Steven McConnachie from Barvas, Isle of Lewis, to stop take pictures and get back to having fun on Nairn beach!
Don’t look so shy, Buddy. If you’ve got that much style, flaunt it! The adorable pup lives with Caroline Petticrew in Dundee.
Radiant Ruby relaxes in the recent warm weather, but we bet it’s usually this beauty who brings the sunshine into the Bennett family in Dunfermline.
Lola’s lovely AND talented. Well, can you lick your own nose!? She loves life in Inverness with Bob and Irene Glover.
Jax is another precious pet who’s been to see the groomer. The perfectly coiffed cocker spaniel exudes class in Fraserburgh, where he lives with Fiona Whyte.
This is the only kind of fir-wearing we can get behind! Fashionable fluffball Ash carries off a cone hat in style in Inverness with Katherine Mackenzie.
The stunning beauty of Newburgh beach is matched only by terrific Tilly, who looks ready to lead James, Mhairi, Sarah and Cameron Begg from Maud on an epic adventure.
Whatever Dexter was after, we’re sure Maureen Jenson gave him it in Inverurie. No one could resist those eyes! Dexter lives in Aberdeen with Emily and Matthew.
Do you ever feel really uncool? Buddy is so chill, we can’t compete! Lesley and Paddy Murphy from Dundee claim the Westie/Lhasa cross is a wee Tasmanian devil but we don’t believe it!
Carolyn Brandt tells us her son Paul’s pup Bobby loves posing at home in Aberdeen. You look blooming brilliant to us, Bobby!
Poor Bu needed surgery on not one but three legs. Margaret Smith from Carnbee, Fife, is so proud of her brave boy.

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.
