MISSION Our mission is to champion pets and responsible pet professionals with expertise and integrity. VISION A future with expanded opportunities to enjoy the companionship of healthy and well-treated pets, in which responsible pet professionals are respected and seen as having the best interests of pets in mind. We have a responsibility to ensure that the animals in our care are treated with kindness and respect, and that pets do not cause environmental or human health problems. Pet Advocacy Network is a pioneer in developing educational programs, forging collaborative relationships, and advocating for pets, pet owners, and the responsible pet care community to advance the incredible power of pets.
