NEW YORK, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith Corporation's (NYSE: MDP) Southern Living announces the winners of its first annual Pet Awards, spotlighting the editors' 48 all-time-favorite products for living, playing, and traveling with their cats and dogs. Southern Living's Pet Awards 2021 is available on southernliving.com/petawards and in the August issue of Southern Living magazine, available now.
"Our readers consider their dogs and cats to be family members, so we took great care in picking winners for this year's Pet Awards. There are some wonderful new products in this mix that will make life better for pet owners—and especially for the pets themselves," said Southern Living Editor in Chief Sid Evans.
This year Southern Living editors researched hundreds of pet products that would be used in readers' homes, and they narrowed down the search to five categories: grooming, housekeeping, toys, beds, and travel. After extensive research and outreach, 48 products that editors, readers, and experts loved and recommended for both owners and pets made Southern Living's Pet Awards 2021.
