Check out the world’s ugliest pets

While there’s no money off pet insurance premiums for odd-looking pets, spare a thought for these not so cute animals.

We all love our pets, no matter how strange they look. But while for some, their appearance is down to the characteristics of their breed, others may be suffering from obesity, skin conditions or serious illnesses – so ease your worries by getting the best pet insurance.

World’s ugliest dogs

Just because your pooch is more ‘Argh!’ than ‘Aww!’ that doesn’t mean it’s not a winner. Meet Sam - three times champ of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest and a fine example of the alarming-looking Chinese Crested breed, which naturally sports a mohican and looks rather like a gremlin. You can see more ‘cuties’ at Ugliest Dog.

That said, while some things are specific to the breed, if you notice anything unusual with your pet, you should get it checked out in case it is something more serious. Make sure your pet is covered for expensive vet bills – you can get an online quote today.

World’s oddest cat

Pity this poor kitty who jumped off the grooming table and discovered he’d been turned into a little lion. Or is he puss-in-furry-boots? Some feline friends are naturally skittish about being groomed so find out how to relax your cat with our advice.

Fat is a furry issue

Some owners equate love with supplying human food to their animals, but this poor overfed dog doesn’t look happy. Pets need to watch their weight as much as humans to prevent serious health risks so make sure you keep on top of your dog’s diet and exercise needs.

Fashion faux pas

We know that everyone wants their pet to look the best that they possibly can, but perhaps the neon poodle look just isn’t what nature intended! However, if this has given you ideas, have a look at some other pet pampering possibilities.
