When it comes to your pets and the products you buy for them, who says “Safe” is safe?

Over the last several years, we have seen the impact of what poor quality control has done to the pet food industry. Now, more than ever, consumers are turning a discerning eye toward the products that they purchase for their beloved companion animals.

When it comes to pet products we have determined that the term “Safe” and “Safety” are largely marketing terms. For many classes of pet product, manufacturers are not required to meet performance criteria or test their products. How do you, the consumer, have confidence in a product’s performance if there are no rules to measure it against?

Through our testing and research, we are your advocate. We develop product performance criteria. We test because we care. We test to keep our pets safe.

The Center for Pet Safety was founded to give a voice to the pet product consumer. We identify with the consumer, because we are consumers ourselves.

The Center for Pet Safety Mission
