As far as I knew the only "way to go" was the APPCA. I had never even heard of the USPCA until you mentioned it.
My view is as long as you think that the investment is worth it then it is worth spending the funds to join. If you do not think you will see a "return" on the investment then it is not worth it...
Know what I mean? On a personal note I will repeat that I know members of the APPCA and they all say it is a great organization. Others say they are members of no organization and that is great with them...look at the ACF. Jean and I love it and others look at it as a "rip off" or worse...

I chose APPCA - Jean and ChefJune heartily recommended it to me, and after talking to Candy Wallace I am more than thrilled. Now that I have the study materials, DVD's and everything else I'm really happy.

I've been with the USPCA since 1999. Have always liked it but my original cost was not as high as it is now. Since moving to Tucson, I've let my membership lapse. (Not sure if I want to start up the biz again). I have been eyeing Personal Chefs Network, Inc. You might want to google them and check them out. Just gives you one more option.
