The 18th annual Pet BusinessIndustry Recognition Awards celebrate the most innovative products launched in the pet care category.
Published: 12.01.2019
The past decade has undoubtedly been a great one for the pet industry. Over the past 10 years, annual pet-related spending has risen more than 55 percent, growing from just over $48 million in 2010 to what is expected to be more than $75 million in 2019, according to the American Pet Products Association. Much of this success has, of course, been the result of the ongoing humanization trend, which sees pet owners increasingly treat their pets as full-fledged family members of the family. However, the important role that product innovation has played in making pet ownership easier and more fulfilling than ever should not be underestimated. It is with this in mind that Pet Business honors the best and brightest products launched in the pet care category with its annual Industry Recognition Awards. The winners are selected by the Pet Business editors after scouring the industry for the most exciting and functional products on the market, as well as best-in-class merchandising displays, packaging designs, websites and charitable efforts. And the 2019 Industry Recognition Award winners are
