Battersea Dogs & Cats Home prepares for Christmas Day

Pets can get just as much love as our human family members at Christmas, and for the animals in the care of the staff at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, life is no different.

Alongside the usual care, on Christmas Day the dogs at the south-west London site will be treated to walks in Battersea Park and - along with the cats - will get plenty of cuddles, play time and, of course, festive treats.
