Duggan Veterinary Supplies is delighted to announce its sponsorship of the Pet-Friendly Workplace Award category at the Petmania Ruby Heart Awards 2026, celebrating businesses that recognise the powerful role pets play in everyday life!
Hosted by Petmania, the Ruby Heart Awards return for 2026 to honour organisations, communities, and individuals across Ireland who go the extra mile for pets and their owners. With a prize fund of over €5,000, the awards highlight the positive impact pets have on wellbeing, connection, and community spirit.
The Pet-Friendly Workplace category, proudly sponsored by Duggan Veterinary Supplies, recognises companies that embrace a culture where pets are part of the team. Whether it’s welcoming dogs into the office, implementing flexible policies for pet owners, or creating a supportive and inclusive environment, this award celebrates workplaces that understand the real benefits pets bring to employee wellbeing.
Research and real-world experience continue to show that pet-friendly workplaces can boost morale, reduce stress, and foster a more positive atmosphere. From “pawternity leave” to flexible working arrangements and pet-friendly office spaces, businesses across Ireland are increasingly adopting initiatives that support both employees and their furry companions.
Nominations are now open, giving companies the opportunity to showcase their commitment to creating a happier, healthier workplace culture. Whether your office welcomes wagging tails or champions pet-friendly policies in other ways, this is your chance to gain national recognition.
Entries are open until 6th May 2026, with winners selected through a combination of public voting and judging.
Nominate your workplace today and be part of celebrating the organisations leading the way in bringing more “paw-sitivity” into the modern workplace. Enter today – Petmania Ruby Heart Awards • Pet Friendly Workplace • Enter & Vote
