The Top Dog Business Awards, a new initiative celebrating excellence in the pet care industry, has officially been launched. This exciting event, set to take place on Friday, 16th May 2025 at The Halston, Warwick Road, Carlisle, promises a night of celebration, recognition, and inspiration.
The awards, founded by Dave and Vicky McKenna, owners of Top Dog Doggy Day Care, along with their daughter Madison, aim to recognise outstanding businesses in the dog care sector. Categories include grooming, training, retail, and veterinary services. The event will feature an esteemed panel of judges, including Hannah Wade, a Crufts Judge and Championship Dog Agility Competitor, and Sarah Bean, General Manager of Eden Animal Rescue.
In a heart-warming gesture, all profits from the Top Dog Business Awards will be donated to Eden Animal Rescue. The funds will support their fundraising efforts for a new kennel block, ensuring a better future for countless animals in need. Eden Animal Rescue is actively seeking sponsors to help make this project a reality.
Dave and Vicky’s journey began several years ago with the opening of Top Dog Doggy Day Care, a place where pets could feel at home and their owners could trust in the quality of care. Their mission has always been to offer a safe, loving, and fun environment for dogs, ensuring they are happy and healthy while their owners are away. This dedication to exceptional care is the driving force behind the Top Dog Business Awards.

- Hannah Wade – Crufts Judge, Championship Dog Agility Competitor
- Adam Roberts – Owner of CJAJ Media, Social Media Expert
- Naomi Smith – Owner of Saltire Financial, Business Expert
