Barking Heads picks up national dog-friendly award

 

Pet food supplier Barking Heads has won a major honour in the 2018 DogFriendly Awards. The company picked the Large Employer Award with the commendation: “Great food, open and honest ingredients.“

 

Barking Heads was also described as being “a great place to work and very dog friendly.”

 

 

The Pet Shed in Brighton picked up the Best Pet Shop Award thanks to comments like: “Really lovely little & local pet shop. They go out of their way to provide a good service.“

Malton in North Yorkshire was voted Best Dog Friendly Town while The Dog House in London (below) won the Grooming Award.

 

 

Lauren Pavey, of The Dog House, said: "I think the success of our business comes from three things – the support of our customers who are amazing and have really supported us and become our friends since day, my amazing team who go above and beyond for the business and the support of my mum and dad who have helped me in every aspect of my life and given me the courage to start and develop the business.

 

"I'm disabled and it has been a real struggle being young, disabled and starting up a business but if i can do it anyone can. 

 

"I really would like to thank everyone who voted for us from the bottom of my heart as it really has meant the world to win this award and I can't believe we have been nominated for pet retailer and grooming salon categories in the Pet Industry Federation awards too."

 

The DogFriendly Awards, in association with the Kennel Club, are an opportunity to recognise and reward dog friendly places and pet businesses that go the extra mile for the benefit of the UK’s 9.4 million dogs

 

Winners and finalists were announced at the Awards ceremony at The ExCel Centre, London, on Saturday.
