A Recap of the 2025–2026 World Branding Awards Animalis Edition
The 2025–2026 World Branding Awards Animalis Edition celebrated its fifth edition on 3 July 2025, uniting leading pet and animal brands from around the world. The event honoured brands for their exceptional achievements, recognising them as National, Regional, and Global Winners.
Setting the Stage in Vienna
Vienna once again proved itself as a global hub for prestige and innovation, hosting the Animalis Edition. The event brought together leaders in animal-related branding all under one roof at the historical Hofburg Palace.
With elegance and flair, Mounia Berrada-Gouzi led the night as host, guiding guests through a dazzling showcase of achievement that culminated in a spirited celebration of excellence at its finest.
Alongside the dynamic and future-focused talk, “Ready for the Future? Unlocking Business Success with Sustainable Innovation” by Dr. Matthias Brendel, the evening buzzed with energy and inspiration. It became more than just a celebration; it was a vibrant hub where winning brand representatives mingled, sparked fresh ideas, and explored the ever-evolving world of the global pet and animal industry.
Celebrating Global Excellence
The Animalis Edition is unique in its focus on brands that nurture the bond between animals and their human companions. This year’s winners represented a diverse mix of industries across diverse categories, including pet food, retail, wellness, pet exhibitions, and aquatic products.
Each award highlighted not just commercial success, but also the emotional bond between humans and animals —a theme that resonated strongly throughout the ceremony.
Highlights of the Ceremony
Out of over 950 brands nominated by more than 80,000 consumers in a global online survey, only the top 105 brands from 25 countries achieved the coveted title of winner. Earning a World Branding Award is a significant achievement, solidifying their status as industry leaders.

Branding Brilliance: World Branding Awards Animalis Edition
The Animalis Edition is more than an awards recognition; it’s a statement about the evolving role of branding in shaping how we care for and connect with animals. In a world increasingly conscious of sustainability and ethics, these brands are setting standards that go beyond profit, aiming to make a lasting impact on animal welfare and consumer trust.
“The Animalis Edition of the World Branding Awards recognises brands that have achieved the highest distinction—genuine recognition in the hearts and minds of consumers. Tonight, we honour those whose names resonate globally, whose values inspire loyalty, and whose presence defines excellence in the pet and animal industry,” said Richard Rowles, Chairman of the World Branding Forum.
The 2025–2026 World Branding Awards Animalis Edition in Vienna was not just a celebration of branding excellence, but a reminder of the responsibility brands carry in shaping the future of animal care. As the industry continues to grow, the winners of this year’s awards stand as benchmarks of innovation, compassion, and global leadership. Looking ahead, the Animalis Edition is set to make its next appearance in 2028. We anticipate a tremendous amount of support from everyone.
