Entrants are required to complete all fields of the registration forms and agree to these Terms and Conditions, and attend the Photography Session with their Entered Dog, for the entry to be valid. Incomplete, illegible or incomprehensible entries will be deemed invalid.
Entrants will become ineligible to win if they ‘unsubscribe’ from the PETstock mailing list before the announcement of the National Prize Winner, which is anticipated to take place no later than the end of October 2014.

Dogs that are entered at multiple PETstock stores will be deemed invalid and become ineligible to win. Entrants can only enter the Promotion with a dog that they own.
