Last chance to nominate your pet hero!

Do you know a pet hero who deserves a medal? 

Now is your last chance to nominate a pet with an extra-special ‘tail’ to tell who has made a huge difference to the lives of others.

The Blue Cross Medal celebrates all hero pets, from amazing assistance or therapy pets to animals in the services and military, or simply a life-changing companion. If you own or know of a pet that has done something amazing to change or even save a life, we want to hear from you.

Our Medal was reinstated in 2014 to mark the centenary of the start of the First World War. 

Last year’s Blue Cross Medal winner was Medical Detection dog Daisy (pictured above), a labrador retriever who has saved hundreds of lives – including her owner’s - by detecting cases of cancer. 

Other outstanding entries included a heroic cat who saved her owner’s life by waking her up when she was having a heart attack in her sleep and a dog whose companionship helped her young autistic owner gain confidence and cope with the social situations she found so difficult. 

The Blue Cross Medal is open to pets that have done something brave, life changing partnerships, assistance animals or serving or working animals. 
Deadline for entries is 31 October 2015. Find out more and nominate a pet hero now.
