The borough council and Mars Petcare teamed up earlier this year to launch a number of initiatives to use animals to improve the wellbeing of residents.

More than a dozen businesses have registered as pet-friendly enterprises and dog walking get-togethers have been organised in the country park.

Other schemes will also be launched as Melton contests the annual national Be Dog Friendly competition for top pet-friendly town, organised by the Kennel Club.
