Frozzys is an innovative brand that places emphasis on the need for dog treat products to be both great-tasting and nutritionally supportive - has had roaring success at this year's PetQuip Awards. Frozzys entered into two categories this year: Product of the Year (food/treats) and Innovation in Lockdown. We were awarded first (gold) and third (highly commended) places respectively.
The "Product of the Year" submission saw Frozzys' debut product range - Frozzys Lickable Frozen Yogurt - leap to victory with a specific focus on the range's rebranding, market repositioning and sales growth. Originally launched in 2013, Frozzys Frozen Yogurt a natural nutritious treat rich in vitamins and minerals, low in calories and available in perfectly portioned tubs. It is designed to take time to eat, to prolong enjoyment and keep dogs mentally stimulated, and its frozen nature helps to keep dogs cool. Following its initial launch, the Frozzys team went on to execute an extensive market research project to identify key trends, markers and buying patterns of consumers across the UK. After heavily analysing and interpreting the results, Frozzys invested in a rebrand, redesign and relaunch of the frozen yogurt range in order to even better appeal to the market. The project was hugely successful, and this was reflected in the sales growth Frozzys experienced.
Frozzys Superbites - Frozzys' latest new dog treat range with a focus on digestive health - was 'highly commended' in the 'Innovations in Lockdown' category for its clever innovation, positioning towards digestive health and clear packaging communications. The Superbites range was developed in 2020's Covid-19 lockdown period, in response to growing consumer demand for foods and treats that support canine digestive health. Containing probiotics to help rebalance the gut microbiome, Frozzys Superbites are made from 100% natural ingredients, free from grains, and rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, which provides the optimal balance of nutrition and great flavour for dogs.
"We're absolutely delighted to have been recognised so highly in this distinguished awards event" commented Noel Conlon, Co-Founder of Frozzys. "Both our Lickable Frozen Yogurt and Superbites ranges have been meticulously developed in order to provide consumers with premium dog treat products that dogs enjoy, and owners feel good feeding them."
"We started Frozzys back in 2013 with a goal to create cool dog treats that really contribute to dog health and happiness" added Michael Hunt, Co-Founder of Frozzys. "Being awarded for our work is something we are incredibly proud of, and it inspires us to continue with our mission to create dog treat products that are both nutritious and supportive of canine health."
