Pet industry wins pair of top awards

The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA) has been awarded a gold and bronze award in the 2006 Association Trends all-media contest. APPMA’s P.A.L. (Pets Add Life) Campaign earned the top gold award in the Public Service Announcement print category. The campaign is designed to promote the joys and benefits of responsible pet ownership as well as to inform the public about a wide variety of pet-related issues. The APPMA Member Resource Guide 2005-06 won the bronze award for Best Directory.
“We are extremely pleased to receive these prestigious awards and will continue to serve the pet industry in award-winning fashion,” said APPMA chief operating officer and managing director Bob Vetere. APPMA will be honoured at the Association Trends Salute to Association Excellence on 10 February 2006 in Washington, D.C.
