About the Institute
A school built by the profession, for the profession.
PUPP Institute was founded out of a need that the pet industry has long recognised but rarely addressed: a unified, serious, internationally credentialed education for the people who care for our animals every day.
Our Mission
To raise the standard of every hand that touches an animal — through education, evidence and ethics.
Where we come from
PUPP is an initiative of Petsburgh, built in partnership with PPGAI and supported by a faculty of veterinary advisors, master groomers, behaviour consultants and rescue practitioners from across four continents.
Our principles
- 01Welfare science before tradition.
