Have you seen our 'talking pet'?

The Blue Cross has launched a new talking pets campaign which, for the first time, allows your pet to talk back to you. The aim is to raise awareness of our online community for pet lovers, All About Pets.

The technology, as seen in other popular virals like 'Elf Yourself', allows the user to create virtual pets that can be made to speak. Users can choose from a selection of cats and dogs and personalise them with different accessories and backgrounds, or they can upload a picture of their own pet.

They can then pick a voice for their pet and type in a message for the pet to say, which can be sent on to friends or added to their Facebook profile. 

Debbie Curtis, Blue Cross head of communications said: "If you want to tell someone they're in the doghouse but the cat's got your tongue, using a talking pet is the perfect solution. This viral is fun, entertaining and a perfect way to reach pet owners who will enjoy being part of our new online community, All About Pets."
