Pet Owner Benefits
Buying from an HTI Business Member protects your pets, your investment and wild populations.
-
Protecting your pets and monetary investments
Potential pet owners benefit from a reduced likelihood that pathogens will be introduced into your animal collections, thanks to the rigorous certification processes of the Healthy Trade Institute, thereby protecting your pets and monetary investments.
-
Protect ecosystems and wildlife populations
By supporting trade practices that reduce harmful pathogens, pet owners can take satisfaction in knowing that they are contributing to the conservation of biodiversity in the wild, helping to protect ecosystems and wildlife populations.

Assurance to report cases of illness or death
Pet owners who acquire animals from Healthy Trade Institute businesses have the assurance that they can report cases of illness or death from recent purchases to the HTI. This allows for prompt investigation into the health status of other animals by the member business.
To report a case of illness or death
To report a case of illness or death (within one week of purchase) of an animal suspected to have disease, please submit your information through our reporting form.
