Is your dog ready to steal the spotlight? That’s the question we asked as we kicked off the PetLab Co. Best in Show Photo Contest, a fun way to celebrate the unique quirks and charms of our furry friends.
Over the course of four days, 250+ pet parents entered, showcasing their pups’ brightest smiles, quirkiest personalities, and best costumes. Our community of pet lovers voted between the 21st and 25th of October to help us find the top dogs across five fun categories!
Today, we’re thrilled to share the winners and finalists of PetLab Co.’s Best in Show Photo Contest!
From adorable senior dogs to stand-out ears, we received some incredible entries that perfectly captured the unique charm and spirit of each pup. Take a look at our winning entries and standout participants below.
