And because we’re getting in the festive spirit, we’ve also got a bumper selection of Freebies for you (page 40). Here’s your chance to win some fantastic goodies; we’ve got blankets, beds, hampers, 
dog food, cross-stitch kits, and more up for grabs.
Of course, the good reading doesn’t stop there. We take a closer look at the national charity Pets As Therapy and pose the question: could your pet be a therapy dog?; there’s an interview with world-renowned dog trainer Victoria Stilwell; our vet Vicky Payne advises on spotting the signs of bloat; Dr Jacqueline Boyd helps you pick the best possible diet for your dog; and there’s a feature on dog portraits and how more and more owners are commissioning a lasting keepsake of their pets.
Finally, from everyone on the Your Dog team, we wish all our readers and their dogs a very happy, safe, and relaxed Christmas. 
Until next year.
