In September, APPA was honored to participate in Pet Night on Capitol Hill alongside HABRI, Pet Food Institute, and Pet Advocacy Network. APPA President & CEO Pete Scott presented "The State of the Pet Care Community" in conversation with HABRI President Steve Feldman. The session covered topics including the state of pet ownership in America, emerging trends in pet care, and what this all means from the perspective of policy and the economy.
You can catch an on-demand recording of the session on the Pet Night website, including a downloadable PDF of the presentation slide deck.
