It’s our 15th birthday this month! We can’t quite believe it has been 15 whole years of friends for pets, from when Becca started it by herself in 2008 and soon realising it was too much to manage on her own, she knew she needed some help, this is when our lovely pet carers got involved (some of which are still working for FFP now!). The demand for pet care was so strong, Becca decided to franchise friends for pets and now we stretch all the way over the South West and Wales!

To celebrate this massive achievement we are having an awards evening in November for all our wonderful pet carers for all their hard work and dedication and going above and beyond for all the animals they look after. There will be 5 different awards, each manager (with the help of clients) will nominate 1 of their pet carers to be put forward for the awards. The judge’s will then decide on an overall winner who will receive the award along with a prize.
