What's up dog?

Max has continued to significantly enrich our lives and those around him in various ways. He provides companionship, reduces stress, and encourages physical activity through walks and playtime. He gives us unconditional love and loyalty foster a deep emotional bond, improving our overall well-being. Additionally, he enhances social interactions, creating connections with other dog owners and the community. Overall, his presence adds joy and fulfilment to our daily lives. He is a therapy dog as well and gives happiness to my patients. So well behaved and good mannered.

2025 NZ People's Choice Award

We believe no dog should be left behind.


Every dog entered into the competition is automatically in the running for the 2025 People’s Choice Award — and the winner will be decided by you, the public.


This year, we’re giving the aroha back to our communities.


Each year, our campaign is supported by a number of incredible charities across Aotearoa that work tirelessly to improve the lives of dogs and people alike. In 2025, we’re shining a spotlight on these organisations and the vital mahi they do.


As part of the voting process, every voter will have the chance to donate to our amazing mental health or dog-focused charities.


It’s your vote, your voice, and your opportunity to make a difference.
