A NATIONWIDE search to find Britain's oldest dog is underway.

So far, the oldest dog discovered is a 25-year-old Collie called Bramble, living in Somerset. But, VetPlus, a complementary pet treatment company based in Lancashire, is hoping to find a dog even older. The winner receives £2,500.

If you think you own Britain's oldest dog, send your name and address on a postcard together with details of your dog's name and age to VetPlus (Old Dog Search), Docklands, Dock Road, Lytham, Lancashire FY8 5AG.

All entrants must be willing and able to substantiate their dog's age claim with veterinary or breeder records and/or their vet's endorsement.
