Our Services
Business Approval
Business Approval is a very important service of the APA. Although there are many clubs and associations that a business may be "accredited" by, these are not for the consumer. Most of these organizations offer unenforceable standards and often are interested in just collecting fees. However, to be fair, while some are very ethical and of value to the business, still none are strictly for the well being of the animal and best interest of the consumer.
APA Approval is allows the consumer to know the business they are visiting that is APA Approved not only passed annual inspections, but undergoes ongoing feedback to maintain the reliability of the approval. And unlike strictly commercial businesses, we will pull an approval when necessary not being swayed by losing the income of the approval fee.
Community Pet Plan
All pet owners know how important our pets are. However, we also all know irresponsible pet owners. The Community Pet Plan is a management tool for residential communities to allow pets to live as harmonious and positive additions to the community.

- Pet owners not turned away at the community they want to live in
- Responsible Pet Owner Agreement for all pet owning residents
- Reasonable Expectations agreement for non pet owners of the community
- Acceptable Pet Areas community mapping
- 24/7 response to lost and nuisance pets
- Pet Owner assistance with trainers and behaviorists
- Pet Mediation for any serious issues
- Promoting Responsible Pet Ownership, and showing non pet owners the benefits of pet ownership
