This is a special year for Pet Age, as 2019 marks the fifth anniversary for its ICON Awards. This annual award honors those pet professionals who have demonstrated a long-term commitment to the sustained success and growth of the pet industry. With at least 20 years of experience working with some of the market’s top manufacturers, distributors, retailers, PR firms and more, they all have one thing in common: the pet industry wouldn’t be as strong as it is today without their contributions.

Selected from a vast pool of qualified candidates, the recipients of this year’s ICON Awards were chosen based on experience, integrity and leadership. Each honoree has a unique yet equally valuable experience, and we will honor their meaningful and lasting contributions with profiles that will appear in the August issue of Pet Age.
