Two East Yorkshire Businesses Fetch Finalist Spot at National Dog Friendly Awards!

It’s paws-itively exciting news for East Yorkshire as two independent businesses have sniffed out a place in the finals of the prestigious national Dog Friendly Awards, set to take place in London later this month.

Oh My Dog in Beverley and Gallipots in South Cave will represent East Yorkshire having both been shortlisted in recognition of their exceptional dog-friendly offerings at the Dog Friendly Awards which will take place at the Kennel Club Headquarters in London on 21st November.

The awards recognise and reward dog friendly places and pet businesses that go the extra mile for the benefit of the UK’s 12.5 million dogs and their owners.

Oh My Dog, Dyer Lane in Beverley is one of 3 finalists in the ‘Shops’ category and Gallipots, Market Place in South Cave is one of 3 finalists in the ‘Groomers’ category.

’Being recognised as a finalist is a significant honour, reflecting all our hard work this year and the support of our valued customers.’, Said James May, owner of Gallipots, ‘This acknowledgment confirms that we are on the right path, offering the best possible service. In these challenging times, such recognition is a tremendous boost for all at our small business.’

Lucy Thompson, Owner of Oh My Dog echoed the appreciation, ‘I was so overwhelmed when I read all the reviews our customers had posted to vote for our little dog shop in these awards. Never did I think we’d make the finals! Recognition and appreciation from our customers make everything worthwhile, Oh My Dog isn’t ‘just a shop’, it’s a community of dog lovers constantly striving to bring something new and dog crazy! I’m over the moon to be invited as a finalist, even more so that we can take our cocker spaniel Lily!’.

The two independent family run businesses look forward to a day of celebration, inspiration, and networking with other esteemed Dog Friendly business owners and professionals from across the UK at the awards at The Kennel Club on 21st November.
