APPA Promotes Member Products for Summer Fun
According to the American Pet Products Association’s (APPA) 2019-2020 National Pet Owners Survey, the benefits of pet ownership are many. Pets promote exercise, provide companionship and are good for the health of the pet owner. As temperatures warm up across the nation, summer is just around the corner and that means more time will be spent outdoors with pets.
The following products are manufactured by APPA members and ideal for enjoying time outdoors.
