Welcome to Long Island Pet Professionals! The first and only networking group dedicated to just pet professionals here on Long Island. This networking group has been created to bring together pet professionals in all areas of the pet industry island wide.

Whether you are a dog trainer, veterinarian, groomer, horse farrier, pet store owner, involved in wildlife rescue, a dog or cat rescue organization, horse rescue organization, pet massage therapist, pet photographer, animal lawyer, shelter worker or just entering the pet professional world - then this is the networking group for you! 

LI'er's in this industry have had no where to turn to network and work together to help enrich the lives of our pets and their owners on LI. Long Island Pet Professionals is here to change that, and make the industry better for all of us! Well, that is the goal anyway.
