Mars Fishcare's pond treatment wins new product award


The API Pond Treatments from Mars Fishcare has picked up a major new product award at the PATS trade show at Sandown Park...

“We’ve had some great interest in our API products, and really pleased that the Pond Treatments won the Aquatic Product Award," said Emily Malpass from Mars Fishcare.

"We took a lot of feedback from a consumer study and simplified our names and information and it’s working for us. The show has been a fantastic vehicle for getting our message across.”

The judges felt the winning entry had eye-catching packaging, and “it did what it says on the tin”. They particularly liked the way individual products were paired together to make it a one-product starter kit.

Meanwhile, Dog Rocks also picked up a new product award at PATS with their PetproBio supplement.

The judges said PetproBio had eye-catching packaging and strong branding, and was a product that would encourage repeat buying. Value for money was an important factor in their decision.

Carina Evans from Dog Rocks said: “A lot of hard worked went into getting our new product PetproBio ready for the show but it paid off as we won the Pet Care Product award. I’ve had a lot of interest in the product today, and to win the award is just brilliant.”
