Why I turned down being a 'finalist’ in the Local Pet Awards. I’m mainly posting this because I think it's important to highlight certain things 🚩
Firstly, I am so thankful to my wonderful customers who nominated me, I’m forever grateful for your love & support 💚
❌️To progress as a 'finalist' you need to purchase a ticket at £149 each as it's compulsory to attend the event to be in for a chance of winning.
❌️There is no selection process so anyone can enter (you can even enter yourself) there's no criteria to meet or screening carried out so once you pay you're automatically a 'finalist'.
❌️There is no judging, if you pull in enough public votes you win. There is no judging panel or expert advisors involved in selecting the winners.
While there are many business who have entered this and are more than deserving to win, there's also some you wouldn't trust with a stuffed dog🫣
🌟 I believe awards should focus on genuine recognition. It shouldn't be a pay to win or a popularity competition. 🌟
Looking for the best dog groomer/walker for your dog? Ask questions & get curious!
Ask yourself:
Are they insured? How do they transport dogs? Do they drive safely? Do they have paperwork in place? Are they professional? Will they keep my information safe & secure? Do they have any additional qualifications?
You're also allowed to change dog groomer/walker if you don't feel like it's working. Use your judgement and 'shop' around 💚💜
