Mars Petcare celebrates Product of the Year 2022 award wins
Both winners were said to demonstrate the ‘quality and ingenuity’ of modern-day pet food – displaying excellence across the board from recipes to flavour and healthfulness to packaging design.

It revealed the Pedigree Ranchos Sticks and Dreamies Catnip were voted winners for “stand-out” products that demonstrate innovation. Both winners were said to demonstrate the “quality and ingenuity” of modern-day pet food – displaying excellence across the board from recipes to flavour and healthfulness to packaging design.
Kim Smet, interim general manager at Mars Petcare, said: “We’re delighted that Pedigree Ranchos and Dreamies Catnip have been voted Products of the Year. Britain is in the midst of a pet population boom, and over the turmoil of the past two years, pet-owners have developed much closer relationships with their furry friends.
“Today, treats aren’t only about rewarding good behaviour; we’re proud that our innovations are about caring for specific needs and providing bonding moments that cement relationships between parents and pets.”
Helga Slater, MD, Product of the Year, added: “Innovation comes in all shapes and sizes and in what has been a challenging year for everyone, we have seen brands big and small step up and stand out for some truly exceptional products.
“From the small, incremental improvements made by established brands to those breaking new ground, we are happy to once again be able to shine a light on the very best product innovation and we are thrilled for all the winners.”
