Nationwide
search for Britain’s oldest dog
A
leading pet-product company is running a nationwide search to
find Britain's oldest dog, and is prepared to offer £2,500
to the owner along with fame and notoriety to the winner.
So far, the oldest dog discovered, is a 25 year-old Collie called
Bramble living in Somerset.
But VetPlus, a complementary pet treatment company based in
Lancashire, is hoping to find a dog even older than Bramble
that it can feature on the promotional material of a new product
called Aktivait that is aimed at senior pets.
Not only will the winning dog become a famous 'cover canine'
with a massive £2,500 prize, they will also receive a
five star makeover and photo session along with a free supply
of a new nutritional supplement called Aktivait.
Aktivait is a supplement aimed at older dogs that combines prime
nutrients and aims to sustain optimum brain function in canines
and help delay the ageing process. Canine dementia is a growing
problem in dogs aged over eight with as many as one in four
suffering from senility related disorders. This can lead to
disorientation, lack of awareness of familiar people or surroundings,
deterioration in house training habits, interrupted sleeping
patterns and barking for no reason.
Based on recent research, which has indicated that a calorie
restricted diet increases longevity in dogs and further studies
that have shown that specific nutrients can optimise brain function,
VetPlus developed Aktivait as a natural aid for ageing dogs.
If you think your dog is Britain's oldest canine, please send
your name and address on a postcard with details of your dog's
name and age to: VetPlus (Old Dog Search), Docklands, Dock Road,
Lytham, Lancashire FY8 5AG. All entrants must be willing and
able to substantiate their dog's age claim with veterinary or
breeder records and/or their vet's endorsement.
