Anthony Ramsey, CEO of the Pet Industry Association of Australia, said for years, they have been calling for effective regulation that protects and improves animal welfare and eliminates puppy farming operations.

5th place at the world Grooming Championships.

What an incredible result

Please give them a big virtual round of applause
