PATS Sandown 2016 New Product Awards revealed

The winners of the PATS Sandown 2016 New Product Awards were chosen by a team of expert pet retail judges, who arrived at the show before 9am on Tuesday, March 22, in order to make their choices from an impressive number of new products entered.

Their decisions took into account a number of guideline criteria such as product innovation, design, quality, packaging and value for money.

The judges agreed that the New Product Showcase had produced a high calibre of entries with a tremendous amount of innovation. They were pleased to see such a wide range of products, and felt the majority of items on display showed some great innovation. They were also impressed with the level of technology-linked products on display.

Here is a full list of the winners together with the judges’ comments:
