“As our organization continues to grow with new members across the country, we are thrilled to be now offering more and more online education for busy pet professionals,” APP Preisdent Nancy E. Hassel said. “We are also mapping out areas to host upcoming half day seminars and full day seminars to reach more pet professionals in their locations. Not all pet professionals can go to major industry events and we are happy to be filling that void that no other organization has ever done for the pet industry.

“As you can see, we have pet professionals from all areas and expertise as members, and I am excited to welcome each new member, help them with their business goals, referrals, connections, questions and look forward to meeting them in person,” Hassel said.

APP said they are dedicated to helping educate pet professionals. The organization is introducing more ways for members to learn online and in-person and will soon be announcing exciting new additions for its members.
