At PIBA, we believe the people who trust pet businesses every day are the people best placed to recognise them. That’s why our awards begin with public nominations and voting, celebrating the businesses that have earned the confidence of their communities. Together, pet owners, industry professionals and local businesses help shine a spotlight on the people making a genuine difference to the lives of pets and their families.
The standout of the whole awards. A business doing everything well and setting the bar for the wider industry.
For the individuals whose work has made a lasting difference to the lives of animals across the region.
A safe, happy home from home where dogs get lots of play, rest and love while their humans are at work.
Skilled hands, a gentle manner and a finish that makes tails wag. Grooming that feels as good as it looks.
Somewhere you can leave your dog knowing they will be looked after properly, walked well and welcomed back like an old friend.
Reliable, calm and brilliant with a lead full of personalities. The person you trust to help your dog explore the world.
A team you trust with the ones you love most. Clear advice, honest pricing and genuine care from the front desk to the treatment room.
Calm, clean and quietly brilliant. A space where cats feel settled and owners can actually relax while they are away.
Warm water, expert care and real recovery. Supporting pets through injury, surgery, mobility issues and healthy ageing.
Independent shops with real knowledge, thoughtful stock and the personalised advice you cannot get from a big brand website.
Kind, clear and consistent. Helping dogs and their people understand each other so life together is easier, disciplined and more fun.
A home away from home. Giving your pets all the attention and care they need to settle their nerves whilst you’re away..
Well kept yards, happy horses and instructors who bring out the best in every horse and rider, whatever their level.
Great coffee, good food and a genuine welcome for four legged guests. Water bowls out, tails allowed.
Proper pubs where dogs are part of the furniture. Treats behind the bar and a fuss from the regulars.
Stays where pets are actual guests, not an afterthought. A hotel where guests aren’t just allowed, but welcomed.
Days out that families remember. Well cared for animals, engaging staff and experiences that spark a lifelong love of wildlife.
The people quietly changing outcomes for animals who need it most. Long hours, hard decisions and huge hearts.
If you ask most pet business owners why they started their business, the answer is usually the same. It wasn’t because they dreamed of spreadsheets, marketing strategies or sales targets. It was because they loved animals and wanted to turn that passion into a career. That passion is often what makes the UK’s pet industry…
There was a time when running a successful pet business was relatively straightforward. Do a great job, look after your customers, and the recommendations would follow. A happy client would tell a friend, that friend would become a customer, and your reputation would quietly grow within the local community. Word of mouth is still one…
“The greatest achievement for any pet business isn’t simply growing a successful company. It’s becoming the business that owners recommend without hesitation, because they’ve earned the trust of the people who love their pets like family.”
