Nearly 50 companies from all bricks-and-mortar distribution channels featured in the poll.
All three speciality retail groups picked will be honoured at the Pet Conference later in the afternoon on the first day of the conference. The winner will receive the pet Award for the most popular retail company in the pet supplies sector. The Pet Conference is a leading specialist conference in the pet sector, attracting 120 to 150 companies from industry and trade as participants.
The race for the top spot was unusually close this year, with just a small number of votes separating the three contenders. The fourth-placed company was also only a few votes behind the top 3, with a big gap then to the next-ranked enterprise.
