INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION:<\/span><\/strong> Movie productions and other film and photography sets are expensive endeavors and a production company will not risk wasting time by hiring an animal that is ill-prepared for the job, which is why they hire animals with industry standard certification to work on SAG-AFTRA and other professional sets. This enables the production company to reduce risk and increase the likelihood of a quality performance. Credentialed animals are added to the online registry which includes their photo and the owner’s contact details, allowing productions and animal acting agencies to find and hire the animals. We take no cut of their job wages.<\/p>\n
