Both Buyers Choice Award winners from ECRM's recent Pet & Pet CBD Virtual Program have developed innovative products that are on trend with two important consumer needs: products made with natural ingredients and those that are also environmentally friendly.

Spunky Pup won the ECRM Buyers Choice Award for its Clean Earth Plush Turtle at ECRM’s Pet & Pet CBD Virtual Session held in October. RNF Pet Products was a finalist for its Cookie Pal Sweet Potato & Flaxseed Dog Biscuits.

The products were selected from dozens of entries submitted by participating suppliers. Buyers were able to evaluate each entry and cast their votes based on product packaging and innovation via Buyers Choice Awards section of the ECRM Connect platform.
