Animals are gorgeous, loving, entertaining and a whole lot of fun to be around. That’s probably why, according to the latest estimated figures from the PFMA (Pet Food Manufacturers' Association), the UK's pet population is a whopping 12 million! 44% of households have pets with around 51 million pets owned. Out of that, 9 million dogs are pets whilst cats total to 8 million. Many pets are also emotional support animals or specially trained service animals so they also help their owners who may suffer health or wellbeing problems.

"When I saw the advertisement from Models Direct for a dog model, our Sid sounded like he'd fit the bill! He had recently modelled in a local photo shoot for a clothing brand and he was the star of the show! The shoot we attended was for a London based dog clothing and accessories brand that needed some photos for the website and other relevant media. He learnt a lot from the day and it did wonders for his training. It's certainly made me more confident in taking him places and being able to trust his behaviour in different circumstances and environments. I would recommend to other puppy owners to do something like this because it's excellent for socializing your pup and getting some lovely photos of them while they are still small!"

Does your pet have any talents that will make them stand out, raise eyebrows (in a good way!) and get heads turning? If your answer is yes, be sure to make a note of this when completing the modelling application form. Clients love to hear about any special tricks your pet may have up its sleeve as do we!
