🐾❤️ A Guinness World Records™ title, 50 years of pet care, and a community we’re incredibly proud of.

As Petplan UK celebrates 50 years of helping pets live happier, healthier lives, we're thrilled to have achieved a Guinness World Records™ title for the Largest Online Photo Album of Pets.

This record is more than a milestone. It's a celebration of the millions of dogs, cats, rabbits and horses we've helped protect over the last five decades, and the wonderful pet owners who have trusted Petplan to be part of their journey.

A huge thank you to everyone who uploaded a photo and helped bring this record-breaking album to life. Your support has helped us celebrate not only this achievement, but 50 years of keeping pets at the heart of everything we do.

Here's to the pets, the people who love them, and 50 years of Petplan. ❤️🐶🐱🐰🐴🏆
