The APPA team is excited to announce the launch of our brand-new supplier membership category: Ingredient & Components Suppliers. According to the National Pet Owner Survey, pet owners spend the most on food and products. As a result, they want those products to contain the highest quality ingredients and components for their pets. Now is the perfect time to join a community that connects you with the top pet manufacturing businesses in the industry.
This expansion is designed to welcome even more players into the APPA pet industry ecosystem and provide them with unmatched resources, networking opportunities, and industry insights. By working together, we all get better!
