Unfortunately not. Submissions you make must be on behalf of your pet.

Wildcard puppies are chosen by the Petmania team to progress into round 2.

• Counties with phyiscal stores* will have their wildcard chosen by their store teams.
• All remaining counties that don't have a Petmania store will be chosen by team members from Petmania Online Store and Petmania Head Office.

*As Co. Limerick has two Petmania stores, they will choose together. Petmania Athlone will choose for Co. Westmeath.

Some smartphones (including iPhones and Androids) take images in a .heif file format, which will not be accepted on Woobox.

You will need to convert these to a .jpg or .png file format to submit. As a quick fix, you can take a screenshot of your photo and submit that instead.
