Nominations are open until the end of March.
Nominations are now open for the annual Heart of Pet Blood Bank Awards, hosted by veterinary charity, Pet Blood Bank UK.
The awards celebrate the incredible people and their dogs who go above and beyond to support the charity, which provides a vital blood donation service for pets.
This year, Pet Blood Bank has refreshed its award categories to align with its core values, exemplified by its supporters. The categories include:
Caring: celebrating those who embody the welfare-first spirit of Pet Blood Bank.
Pioneering: recognising people or pets who find innovative ways to support the charity.
Real: championing people who use realistic thinking and evidence to make a real difference to Pet Blood Bank UK.
The final award is the charity's flagship Bramble Craddock Award – a tribute to Bramble, one of Pet Blood Bank’s highest donors. Open to all donors, the award celebrates the unique role dogs play in our lives, and the difference they make to their owner’s life of the lives of others.
Nominations for this year’s awards are open until the end of March, with the ceremony taking place in June. Any nominations received from April will be considered for next year’s event.
The charity said: ‘If you know someone or a dog who deserves recognition, we would love to hear their story. Nominate today and spread the word out – we hope you are as excited as we are to celebrate the incredible contributions of our supporters (you!)’
The awards are open to individuals, veterinary practices and incredible dogs who have gone the extra mile for Pet Blood Bank. To make a nomination, visit petbloodbankuk.org
