The American Pet Products Association [1][2] (APPA) is a not-for-profit industry association founded in 1958 and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut.[3] The APPA represents more than 1,000 pet product manufacturers, importers of pet products, and suppliers of products for non-pet livestock as well.
APPA supports the interests of its members through public policy, public affairs, and animal awareness. In 2008, it dropped the word Manufacturers from its name.[4]
The APPA organizes the Global Pet Expo annually. The 2012 expo featured 896 exhibitors.[5] The organization also releases a biennial National Pet Owners Survey which compiles data on pet ownership and purchasing trends.[6]
