Multi award-winning dog sitting franchise Barking Mad is celebrating canine companions nationwide, by holding their\u00a0first-ever UK Dog\u00a0Awards. The awards have been created with the mission of recognising and rewarding \u2018top dogs’\u00a0across five heart\u00a0warming categories.<\/p>\n

Managing Director, Rachel Stewart, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our work as the UK and Ireland’s leading dog sitting network, we encounter exceptional dogs who brighten up the lives of those around them every day. Every dog is special in their own way but we wanted to give those who really deserve to be recognised as man’s best friend, the chance to shine.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our online dog awards aren’t about looks or breed standard but about the difference these amazing creatures make to our lives. We’re looking for a diverse selection of \u2018real’ dogs with character.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Barking Mad has partnered with premium brands in the pet care sector to offer winners some fantastic prizes. Up for\u00a0grabs are doggy treats from\u00a0Laughing Dog Food, personalised pooch products from\u00a0My Posh Paws, pet care products\u00a0from\u00a0Animology, personalised dog bone toys by\u00a0Mutts & Hounds, as well as the opportunity to win a free Barking Mad\u00a0doggy holiday worth \u00a3150!<\/p>\n

The nation’s dog owners are invited to enter their faithful friends into the following five categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dog with a Job<\/b> – this could be an assistance dog, your office mascot or even a dog who works for the services.<\/li>\n
  2. Best Pupfluencer<\/b>\u00a0– does your dog have their own social following? If their creative social content gets their followers\u00a0wagging for more, then this is the category to enter!<\/li>\n
  3. Man’s Best Friend<\/b> – Man, woman, child… we’re looking for those dogs who’ve been an amazing companion to their human family.<\/li>\n
  4. Waggiest Welcome<\/b> – the dog with the waggiest tail, who is always pleased to see their owner.<\/li>\n
  5. Best Puppy-dog eyes<\/b>\u00a0– this dog will win anyone over with simply one look!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is a fantastic opportunity for the UK’s most faithful friends! The UK Dog Awards’ judging panel will decide who will be announced as canine champions at the close of the year.<\/p>\n
