      Bella von Mesterhazy at Petplan said \u201cThe fact that we\u2019re increasingly making pets a prominent part of our Christmas celebrations is testament to the vital role they play in family units across the UK \u2013 and in some cases, our urge to treat them at Christmas goes beyond how we spoil our partners and human family! <\/p>\n

      "The festive season is so full of joy and there\u2019s nothing that puts a smile on faces more so than giving something back to our pets \u2013 whether that\u2019s through a traditional gift, or something a little more creative from pet-friendly beauty treatments to brunch.\u201d<\/p>\n
