A WORCESTERSHIRE based pet brand has started the year on the good foot by winning a national accolade for the second year running. Premium pet brand Fish4Dogs, which has its headquarters in Droitwich, has been recognised by Your Dog Magazine - Britain’s best-selling dog magazine – in its annual product awards by winning ‘best treat’ for its Sea Jerky range. The awards, which are voted for by readers and their canine companions, saw the brand's treat come out as the top dog among the publications readers.

Graham Smith, chief executive of Fish4Dogs, said: "Our Sea Jerky treat is by far the most popular among dog owners. The range is made from baked fish skins, has a strong fishy aroma and a rough texture good for dental health. Combine that with the fact that they’re low calorie, these delights keep both dog and owner happy.

“It’s a great start to the year to be recognised in these awards, and what makes them even more special is that they are voted for by our customers who have kept us in the top spot for two years.”

“Of course we can’t give ourselves all of the credit. Our crew of Fish4Dog’s office dogs are our chief tasters and make sure that year on year our food and treats keep getting yummier. So thanks to Sam, Gabriel, Barney, Lucy, Amber, Toby and Dylan and of course thank you to all of our loyal customers who voted for us.”
