Join a Supportive Community
I couldn't be more grateful for Rosie at PIF, Rosie has just been amazing and going above and beyond!
I am very passionate about my lovely business, and also get very overwhelmed by all the paperwork and licencing for dog boarding to keep everything relevant and upto date. Rosie guided and supported me through the whole process and listened to what I wanted to achieve with my lovely business. I can not Thank Rosie enough and so grateful that I have the Pif membership.
I am keen to grow my business and it is so lovely to know that I have all the support from the Pet Industry Federation team.
As new manufacturers introducing a range of high-quality pet cosmetics to the UK market, we have found PIF’s support and guidance to be truly invaluable.
Both Rosie and Dan have been exceptionally approachable and have consistently provided us with clear, practical advice whenever needed.
We now feel part of a purposeful and forward-thinking community, which gives us great confidence in the journey ahead. We are optimistic about our success and look forward to developing a strong and lasting partnership with PIF and its members in the years to come.
Our sincere thanks to PIF for the support and encouragement!
“We joined PIF from the start of our business journey and recommend it to all pet businesses we meet.
During our journey we have accessed support in finding anything from new products to POS systems. However most recently we had to overcome some hurdles needing their free legal advice, something that we can only describe as invaluable. Without PIF we simply wouldn’t have the store we have today. Having a membership with a federation like PIF really ups your game.”
“Displaying the PIF logo in our shop windows sets us apart from competitors; our customers immediately see that we have signed up to the highest standards of animal welfare and customer service. There are so many other benefits to being a PIF member, from partner discounts to networking with other businesses in the industry, it really is a worthwhile investment.”
“We’ve been a member since 2019 and it’s one of the best things we’ve done for our business. We always shout about our membership to our clients. We're proud to be a PIF member and see it as a USP that helps us to stand out from our competitors as we have a code of conduct that we must adhere to so our clients can know exactly what to expect when they use our services.”
