“The Global Cutest Pets Showdown showcases how pets can transcend politics and borders, strengthening relationships and understanding across political aisles and ideological differences,” said Catherine Filejski, President of the Canadian Animal Health Institute. “On Parliament Hill, we’ve seen firsthand how our four-legged friends can bridge partisan divides and remind us that caring for animals is a shared priority, one that connects policymakers, industry, and the public alike. But Canadian pets are definitely the cutest, so elbows up Canada!”

Martha Scott Poindexter, President and CEO of the Animal Health Institute, added: “It’s hard to find agreement on anything in Washington these days, but the important role pets play in our lives brings everyone together. The Cutest Pets on Capitol Hill contest helps focus attention on the important role of keeping pets healthy, and we’re excited to take that message global in a friendly competition with our partners in Canada and Europe.”
