Explore Dogs photos and their photographers

This category is dedicated only to our canine friends – dogs, and we welcome photos of all shapes, sizes and breeds of dog. Remember – if the dog isn't your pet, then please get permission from the owner/s, before entering photos to this website, and also remember not to play 'dress-up' with your pets. Have fun with your photos but respect your pet!

Pet Photo Awards is all about having fun and showing us (and potentially the world) – how much you love your dog/s!

The Dogs category of Pet Photo Awards contains a selection of annual competitions such as Dogs and Puppies as well as several photo challenges to engage with.
