Business Benefits
What HTI certification does for pet businesses that sell amphibians and reptiles.
-
Increased customer satisfaction
By ensuring that pet businesses certify their amphibians and reptiles as disease-free, the Healthy Trade Institute helps to bolster consumer confidence and trust in the industry, ultimately leading to increased customer satisfaction.
-
Fewer financial losses due to sick animals
Pet businesses benefit from fewer financial losses due to sick animals, as the certification process ensures the health and well-being of amphibians before they reach the market.
-
Increased revenues due to higher market value of certified healthy animals
Certifying amphibians and reptiles as disease-free increases the market value of these animals, leading to higher revenues for pet businesses participating in the Healthy Trade Institute program.
-
Reduced expenses with health checks if sourcing animals from other HTI businesses
Businesses can reduce expenses associated with health checks by purchasing animals from other Healthy Trade Institute businesses, knowing that they have already undergone rigorous certification processes.
-
Reduced likelihood of pathogen spillover, helping conserve biodiversity
By minimizing the risk of accidental spillover of harmful pathogens from captivity to the environment, HTI businesses help conserve biodiversity.
