Talking about choosing pet products, Ms. Anne Heung mentioned that product safety, friendliness towards pets, and environmental impact are her primary considerations. She also seeks out certified products, such as those with the Quality Pet Protection (QPP) certification and professional veterinary certification, as these products meet strict safety standards, allowing her and her canine companion to use them with peace of mind.
