Happy Paws has won the Fressnapf/Maxi Zoo Innovation Award 2014, beating off competition from 20 other companies from all over the world. The Easy-Tie was very well received by the judging panel made up of senior buyers and CEOs. The products will now be placed into 1,300 Fressnapf stores across Europe.

"As a start-up, this award is such an honour and will help to establish the brand Happy Paws  and the Easy-Tie as a must-have convenience/safety accessory, making the task of securing dogs, Easier, Safer and Quicker. We will soon be launching several other products," said Tim Joannides, of Happy Paws.
