WhyAPA
25 years; The best reputation in the pet industry
The APA has a spotless reputation. This is because we try very hard to 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. The APA is fair, committed and honest, because you count on us to
be and we owe it to our companion friends.

Consumer Feedback
Your Information
Your personal information is kept CONFIDENTIAL in our secured database and is
not disclosed to the business you are commenting on, or sold, loaned or given to
any business. If you would like to have the business respond to your concern,
you may choose to have your contact information made available to them.
Registration is required to help deter false feedback and so that we can
contact you (if you authorize it) if the feedback is serious in nature.
APA Approval Number
The APA Approval number is necessary in order to leave feedback. If you
do not have the number, you should be able to call the business and ask them for
the APA Approval number. If they do not give it to you, report it to us
and we will call and ask them for their number anonymously. If they do not
provide it to us when asked, they can lose their Approval.
You can also find their Approval Number in the APA Approved logo as seen
below.
Samples of where to find Approval Numbers are below.

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!
