PetQuip Awards 2025 – finalists revealed

Company: Gardenex
  • Rachel and Anthony from Leopard Co

Excitement is building across the pet industry as the PetQuip Awards 2025 finalists are announced. Spanning 16 categories, the shortlist highlights companies and individuals driving excellence in areas such as innovation, customer service, sustainability, and community impact. Winners will be revealed at the PetQuip Awards Dinner on Monday 29 September, held alongside PATS, in an evening of networking, entertainment and celebration.

“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.” Judging took place at Birmingham Dogs Home in August, where industry experts – and some of the home’s rescue dogs – helped evaluate the products, ensuring a transparent and engaging process.

The PetQuip Awards Dinner at the National Conference Centre promises more than just the announcement of winners. Guests will enjoy a drinks reception, three-course dinner, charity prize draw, and live entertainment, alongside the awards ceremony itself — a night designed to bring the trade together and celebrate the creativity, dedication, and passion that make the pet sector thrive.
