The 2016 PetQuip Awards - recognising outstanding retailers and suppliers in the pet industry - received an enthusiastic response when it officially launched at the PATS Sandown show in March.
The event, now in its fourth year, is open for entries until 30 June 2016. The 2016 PetQuip Awards presentations and dinner will be held in association with PATS on the first evening of the show, on Sunday 25 September 2016 in the Ludlow Suite, part of the Telford International Centre.

PetQuip's trade association manager Pat Flynn said: "The awards have always been popular, but this is the first time that entries have been submitted on the actual day of the launch!

"During our very successful two days at the Sandown PATS show, we were encouraged by the number of visitors who stated that they hold the awards in high esteem, recognising the business benefits of the publicity and acclaim of being shortlisted or winning one of the PetQuip awards."
