Join Us in Our Mission to Professionalize the Pet Industry Through Ethics, Consumer Protections and Professional Competency
For so long so many of us have become frustrated with the lack of oversight in the pet industry. This does not specifically refer to a typical “pay your fees” licensing model, but a model that promotes higher standards for ethics, competency and consumer protection. We believe there are hundreds of organizations operating across the globe that feel the same way we do. Each of us, professionals, organizations and in particular pets and their people deserve quantifiable positive changes.
Now is the time for us all to join together and begin a shared journey aligned around our common interests so we can initiate long-term strategic improvements for our industry and those who practice within it. If you answer yes to these questions, then your organization qualifies to join the coalition.

2. Are you passionate about the Pet Industry and the professionals who practice within it?
