European Pet Organization Expands with New Associate Members to Strengthen EU Influence

The European Pet Organization (EPO) introduced a new category of Associate Members in 2024, welcoming entities from the pet sector to support its EU-level activities. With the rise of populism and Euroscepticism posing potential challenges to the pet industry, EPO aims to ensure the sector’s interests are heard in Brussels. The organization will continue engaging with EU authorities using scientific evidence and a multi-stakeholder approach. EPO’s 2024-29 Manifesto highlights the importance of the pet sector for pet lovers, owners, and society as a whole
