Excitement is building across the pet industry as the PetQuip Awards 2025 finalists are revealed. The PetQuip trade association has just released the awards shortlist, which features businesses and individuals whose innovation, ingenuity and achievements have set them apart, in an exceptionally competitive year.
Spanning 16 categories, the list reflects the extraordinary diversity and creativity that make the pet sector so dynamic - from ethical, groundbreaking product to outstanding customer service and community impact.
“The calibre of entries this year has been remarkable,” said Joe Denham, Director General, PetQuip. “Our finalists represent the very best of the industry and we can’t wait to celebrate their success.”
The awards were evaluated by a distinguished panel of experts from across the pet care industry, ensuring a transparent and fair judging process. Judging for most categories took place at Birmingham Dogs Home in early August and included some of the rescue and volunteers’ dogs who were delighted to try out some of the entries!
The winners will be crowned at the PetQuip Awards Dinner on Monday 29 September at the National Conference Centre, alongside PATS.
More than just an awards ceremony, the evening is a chance for the pet trade to come together to reconnect with friends and colleagues, applaud the year’s achievements, and enjoy a celebration of the industry’s shared passion.
The evening starts with a drinks reception, followed by a three course table service dinner, charity prize draw, sparkling entertainment and the awards ceremony.
