November 4, 2019 — K9 Resorts Daycare & Luxury Hotel was named the winner for the IBPSA Pet Care Business Excellence Award. The awards, nicknamed the Ibbys, were established by the International Boarding & Pet Services Association (IBPSA) to honor those businesses raising the bar for professionalism and success in the pet care services industry. The 2019 award recipients were determined based on a nomination and independent selection committee process. The winners were announced during a special evening presentation at the Seventh Annual IBPSA Pet Care Services Educational Conference & Trade Show on October 1, 2019, at the Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa in California.
“As the pet care industry continues to explode and competition increases, it’s important to recognize those professionals who are setting themselves apart from the crowd,” said Carmen Rustenbeck, IBPSA’s founder and CEO. “Pet owners should have a gold standard to look to when choosing a pet care provider and K9 Resorts is helping set that standard.”
To meet the initial threshold for a nomination, pet care providers must have been in business for at least three years and a current member of IBPSA for at least six months. Next, nominees were required to submit information reflecting their financial growth in the past year, company description and vision, and company culture. Nominees were also required to provide information on how the business excels in animal welfare along with details on education and certifications completed by the business owners and employees.
