Petcademy allows small organizations like mine to have their own 'behavior team' to assist adopters and communities.

Petcademy's information is presented in a user-friendly dashboard. We can quickly see common themes to help us improve our practices and predict issues, in-turn, improving our customer service and adoption success rates. An absolutely brilliant service.
