As research conducted by Barkpost shows that owners post about their dogs on social media six times per week, we’re giving all you pet parents the opportunity to put your a-paw-able pet posts and pho-dog-graphy skills to the test once again with the return of our Chuckit! Challenge competition - with a pawsome new twist for 2018!

Partnering up with Forest Holidays for the first time this year, the Chuckit! Challenge Champion this year will get the chance to relax in style in a luxury log cabin on their £1,000 dog-friendly holiday in their chosen UK location.

But before getting their paws on the ‘top dog’ prize, this year’s canine competitors will have to impress a judging panel of pet industry and social media pupstars, who hold a massive combined social following of over 60,000: Finn for Change, Dogs on Adventures, West Midlands Fire Dogs, Kim O’Meara from K9 Magazine and Bertie Lakeland.
