PAC is a revitalisation and modernisation of the International Pet Advisory Council (IPAC) that was initiated by Marshall Meyers on behalf of PIJAC USA at the International Pet Exposition and Conference in Las Vegas in 1995 and meetings were hosted by ZZF at Interzoo for a number of years.

Today's International Pet Advisory Council (IPAC) serves an informal industry platform of pet trade associations from around the world.  Its members :

• meet regularly to exchange on issues of interest being on their respective agendas - that can or already has an international echo.
• collaborate to develop sectorial position documents, in particular at CITES level
