Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone.

Yesterday, for our May webinar for members of American Pet Professionals, we had the pleasure of having APP Member, Ginny Munger Kahn, President of LI Dog(Long Island Dog Owners Group) speak to our members about How to Work With Elected Officials to Achieve Your Pet Business Goals. We know opening a pet business in a town or city can be tricky when it comes to laws and rules in every town. Ginny has 20 years of experience working with elected officials - such valuable information for our members. Here's a clip from our hour-long event.

We would love to see this improve for your pet business, so you and your staff can gain that new puppy parent customer for the life of their dog. 🐾

Give it a read - comment after you have read it.
