FOCUS: February 4, 2026
PSI's next FOCUS One-Day Online Summit on February 4 will take a deep dive into an important topic for all pet-care business owners: COMMUNICATION.

This live, engaging online event will offer four in-depth sessions led by industry experts who share proven, actionable tips for improving how you communicate—with clients, website visitors, the public and yourself.
Registration closes Feb. 2. Reserve your spot!
