This local initiative feels so close to our hearts 🧡 and we’d really encourage our customers to support Colchester’s very first Pet Awards by entering your own pets.
Founded by Holly Smart, who lives on our street and is already making a real impact in our community, the awards create a platform to celebrate the care, compassion and love our neighbourhoods have for the pets who mean so much to us.
The Colchester Pet Awards 2026 are open to pets across the CO1–CO7 areas, recognising everything from rescue success stories to golden years and young handlers.
Please check out the Link 🔗 https://gingerandtails.co.uk/colchester-pet-awards-2026/ ~ it’s super easy to enter or like and share 🥂

Last, but not least, I'd like you to meet our final sponsor for The Colchester Pet Awards, Fat Cat Colchester!

For anyone that frequents The Fat Cat Colchester, you'll know they love dogs, so absolute approval from me!

It really is a simple, no fuss pub with a big heart, known for friendly faces, good beer, and a real sense of community (and being dog-friendly!).

Thank you so much to them for sponsoring the Golden Years Award.
