The health benefits of being a pet owner can be significant. We’ve all experienced that feeling of stress actively leaving our bodies as a result of spending some quality one on one time with our pets, haven’t we?

But did you know that pets have also been known to reduce their owner’s blood pressure, improve immunity and lower the risks of having a stroke?

Recently a University study revealed that dogs love humans more than cats, but if you’re here we know you are a signed up member of Team Cat.

In light of the study’s findings, Drontal and Advantage has launched a competition and are asking pet owners to declare if they are Team Dog or Team Cat.

The competition is now live on the Drontal and Advantage Facebook page will be running for three months.

To have your say, and be in with the chance of winning £500, all you have to do is:

1. Upload a favourite photo of you with your cat
2. Declare if you are Team Dog or Team cat before you click to submit your photo

And that’s all you have to do!

After three months, Drontal and Advantage will reveal the winner and settle the debate once and for all.

All photos will be accumulated and the team (dog or cat) with the most entries will reign victorious. On top of that, one lucky entrant from the winning team will win £500.

Judges from Total Cat Magazine and K9 Magazine will choose the overall winner based on the image that communicates a perfect representation of the inseparable partnership. For those who don’t win, there is still an extra chance to claim £500 through a live public vote on the best picture.

Good luck!
