Kiwoko sponsors second Celebrity Pets Awards

Spanish pet retailer Kiwoko was the exclusive sponsor from the bricks-and-mortar and online retail sector at the second Celebrity Pets Awards, held at La Masía de José Luis in Madrid. At the gala, Caroline Arrú de Caveda, Chief Marketing and Customer Officer at Kiwoko, presented the ‘Inseparables’ award to television and radio presenter Jaime Cantizano for the life he shares with his dogs Duna and Kaos.

The awards recognise people and projects in fields such as adoption, rescue, science, health and travelling with pets. According to Kiwoko, this year’s other winners included Mercedes Milá, Chenoa and Soraya Arnelas. The best way to show animals affection is to respect them as the animals they are, said Arrú de Caveda; knowing their needs and allowing them to express the behaviour typical of their species was a fundamental part of their welfare.

Founded in 2007, Kiwoko says it operates 203 stores in Spain and Portugal, along with 43 Kivet veterinary clinics and 82 Mundo Belleza grooming salons.
