Animal Care
We continually raise the capacity of the industry to promote
responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. Through PIJAC’s education
and outreach programs the staff and collaborators:
- Advance public recognition of the importance of pet ownership to
pets and people, and thus the beneficial role of the pet industry in
society.
- Provide certification programs in animal care and husbandry for pet store employees and other animal care givers.
- Publish guidebooks and manuals on best practice standards in pet care.
- Promote the distribution of care sheets for particular types of pets.
- Represent PIJAC at industry trade shows and other relevant events.
