HOWND - the natural pet care brand for happy dogs - has had its new range of cruelty-free shampoos and sprays nominated for a MasterGroom 2015 award.

The brand will be hoping to secure enough votes to win the prestigious Liz Paul Award, which honours the memory of the iconic and award winning dog grooming champion of the same name, who passed away in 2006.

“Being nominated for this award is a fabulous achievement for us considering the infancy of the HOWND brand. We feel like we’ve crafted a brand that stands out from the crowd and delivered products that groomers simply love to use,” explains Jo Amit, co-founder of HOWND.

“After our rebrand at the start of the year, it’s a great feeling to have our hard work recognised with this nomination. Every vote counts, so we’d love for our groomers to get involved and cast their online vote before the deadline on the MasterGroom website.”

Created by pet loving duo Mark Hirschel and Jo Amit, the Borehamwood based company has released five conditioning shampoos and matching body mists.

Each product is beautifully scented with essential oils and intended for use on dogs of all breeds, covering puppyhood to our older canine companions.

Excitement for the new products has been building amongst groomers, as HOWND is only one of six global pet brands to receive the Leaping Bunny stamp of approval from Cruelty Free International. This is the only international guarantee against animal testing.

Those who wish to cast a vote for the Liz Paul Award <http://mastergroom.org/lizpaulawards/> must be actively involved in the dog grooming industry to participate. Voting closes on this evening (Thursday).
