WhyAPA
20 years; ZERO serious complaints, law suits or questionable practices.
The APA has a spotless reputation. This is because we do what is right every
time. We pass up on huge advertising dollars because we can't afford to be
influenced, we do not approve businesses or products that are questionable, we
establish policies that are fair and in the best interest of our companion
animals; But
we are not elitist. The APA is fair, committed and honest, because you count on us to
be and we owe it to our companion friends.

Verify Approval
If we do our approvals properly, it will be very rare
that an approval status can change over time. However, businesses can
change ownership and new employees can affect a business operation. The
APA recommends you check the status of an approval before visiting them,
or when you are leaving feedback.

Leave Feedback
We do everything in our power to be sure an APA
Approval is something any pet owner can rely on. One of the most
important aspects of our ability to have an Approval be just as valuable
AFTER the initial approval is completed is consumer feedback.
Please leave your consumer Feedback here and
be a part of the process.
Remember, positive feedback is just as important as neutral and negative
feedback!

APA Approval
Only the ethical need apply!
Product Testing
All products are physically tested by the APA or in the case of large numbers
of similar products (ie. leashes of different colors), some are tested and
others are inspected.
Ongoing Testing
Test products remain in use until the end of their useable life. Each year
additional products can be requested if there has been a design change,
different materials are used, or if the testers feel additional testing is
required.
Consumer Feedback
Testing a few products gives us great information about the product, its
usefulness, safety and value to pet owners. But the feedback from
thousands of pet owners is priceless.
Company Background and ethical business practices
Have you ever had a company say they will call you back and do not, offer a
refund that never arrives, treat you rudely or offer a product that isn't quite
what they say?
Those are not APA Approved businesses!
