ANIMALS ranging from hamsters to horses were the star attraction at a special pet day.

The event, held by the All Animals Vet Clinic at West Tilbury Village Hall, was organised in conjunction with national pet month to encourage responsible pet ownership.

Seventeen animals were there with their owners and a buffet was available for both pets and people.

The money raised, which is still being counted, will be split between the Cats Protection Trust and the National Pet Month charity.
