The Center for Pet Safety (CPS) proudly announces a new partnership with Subaru of America, the first auto manufacturer to fund standards development for pet travel products. With Subaru’s support, CPS can conduct additional testing of pet travel products and collect the necessary data to support standards for pet safety harnesses, as well as identify the top performers currently on the market. The Center for Pet Safety applauds the vision of Subaru and their actions to help consumers travel safely with the pets that they love and to improve roadway safety for all drivers.

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

Did you know, for many classes of pet products, 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 standards in place?

When it comes to pet products, “Safe” and “Safety” are largely marketing terms.

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.

Through our testing and research, we are your advocate. We develop product performance criteria and test protocols. We research 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 pet-parent consumers ourselves.

Welcome to the Science of Pet Safety.
