The Pet Care Trade Association (PCTA) is the national membership organisation for pet trade specialists including groomers, pet boarders, pet retailers and manufacturers.

We offer industry-led qualifications and training in dog grooming, pet retail and kennel & cattery management and organise pet trade events. Membership of the PCTA offers a hallmark of quality: all our members agree to abide by sector specific charters to demonstrate good practice. The PCTA also has a charitable arm, the Pet Care Trust, whose aim is to educate the public about responsible pet ownership.
