Pet Insight Announces 13th Annual Pet Insight Vanguard Awards Recipients

The 13th Annual Pet Insight Vanguard Awards recognizes outstanding companies across the pet industry, highlighting leadership, innovation and strong partnerships that drive growth and trust. Since 2012, the awards celebrate not just product excellence but also company mission, industry relationships and contributions to supporting pets and pet owners.

Pet Insight has been honoring industry leaders yearly since it first debuted the Vanguard Awards in 2012, with an eye toward overall performance, presence and incremental category leadership. “Many industry awards are tailored toward recognizing the next new thing, and while innovation is undoubtedly a key driver in growth, what we sought to celebrate with the Vanguard Awards – at its very onset – was a more timeless mode of leadership that is guided by the notion that our collective successes in serving pets and pet owners are fundamentally rooted in strong partnerships and a collaborative spirit,” said Pet Insight Publisher Davis Johnson.

This year’s honorees are not immune to the uncertainties of the current global market, but they continue to inspire resilience and demonstrate a growth path forward, guided by integrity and a desire to ultimately make the pet industry better.

“These are qualities that are hard to perceive at surface level,” said Johnson. “The advantage that we at Pet Insight enjoy, with the benefit of our many years of collaboration with these manufacturers, is we’ve been on their journeys with them. We relish the opportunity to highlight these brands, and it’s all the more meaningful to celebrate each other’s successes.”
