It might just be the perfect accessory item for your pet.

The Nova Scotia SPCA has launched a new Tartan with the help of a local small business, with several items available for purchase as a fundraiser.

The charity says they have partnered with Tartan Gal Designs and are officially with the Scottish Register of Tartans.

“Tartan has a history that spans centuries and countries. Most notably, it is recognized as a symbol of family,” says the SPCA.
