Judging will take place in August and the winners will be announced at a special ‘Oscar-style’ event during PATS Telford on 25th September 2022.
The awards, which celebrate their 10th anniversary this year, have become one of the most successful events to have been introduced into the pet trade sector and everyone is looking forward to celebrating again with colleagues and customers at this excellent networking occasion.
Sponsors and supporters of the event include Group 55, PetFace, Canagan, Pedigree Wholesale, Zoomark, APPA (The American Pet Products Association), James & Steel and PATS Telford.

The evening will start with a drinks reception followed by the ceremony announcing the winners of the PetQuip Awards. Guests will then be able to enjoy a meal and refreshments while networking and socialising.
