Any business not listed on the directory will be contacted and made aware of the nomination and given a chance to accept the nomination and proceed by listing their business under a basic listing. This is to ensure that each business meets the criteria we set for any business wanting to list on the directory, (Fully insured, qualified, trained and licenced where necessary for the services they offer).

Free businesses do not undergo the checked like paid listings so are unable to enter unless upgrading to a paid listing
The Pet Directory Services Awards have been designed to celebrate the achievements and recognise professional pet businesses across the country, that have gone the extra mile and beyond the call of duty to assist customers.
