Celebrating 12 years in business!

Today, February 27, 2021 we celebrate 12 years in Business!

It was a cold night in February 2009, smack dab in the middle of the recession when our founder and President of APP, Nancy Hassel decided to host a networking event for pet professionals on Long Island, NY. Hoping to bring together pet pros from all areas of the industry to unite, meet each other, and create a community amoung peers. Over 50 people came from 3 different states, all boroughs of New York City, and all across Long Island to attend the event! 

It has been an amazing journey, and in many ways we feel like we are still just getting started! 

So if you ever have an idea for a pet product, business, service or want to work with animals – go for it! We love to see the pet industry thrive and we really love to help pet businesses, animal rescues and non-profit organizations prosper. 

If you’re in the pet industry or just about to get started and want to be surrounded by peers who support you, your ideas, your business or animal rescue, we are here for YOU!
