Amazon on the hunt for paw-some UK pets

Amazon has launched a Face of Amazon Pets 2019 competition in the UK.

People are invited to enter by sharing their best pet picture or video via social media, stating why their cat, dog etc should win and including the hashtag #AmazonPets2019. The winner will receive the likes of a professional photoshoot, a £1,000 Amazon promo code and the chance to feature as the star of the Face of Amazon Pets. The competition closes at midnight on 6th October.

Amazon has also launched Pet Profiles on Amazon.co.uk. Customers can fill out breed, age and preference information as well as upload their own shots to create a profile for their pet. They will then receive personalised product recommendations and deals from the Pet Supplies Store.

“We want to celebrate all creatures great and small by giving them a chance to be the Face of Amazon Pets and, with almost half of all UK households owning a pet, we’re expecting the competition to be ‘fur-midable’," says Matthew Redfearn, Pet Supplies Category Leader, Amazon.co.uk.

"We know the UK love pampering their pets which is why we’re also delighted to launch Pet Profiles on Amazon to help our customers get great deals and personalised recommendations for their furry, scaly or feathery friends.”
