Common questions about pet food and animal supplements websites
Can I say my pet supplement treats joint pain?
No. Claims that a pet product treats, cures, or prevents disease make it an unapproved animal drug under the FD&C Act. You can say "supports joint health" (structure/function) but not "treats arthritis" (disease claim).
What does "human-grade" mean for pet food?
AAFCO requires that "human-grade" claims can only be made if all ingredients and the finished product are manufactured in facilities that meet human food standards. Most pet food does not qualify.
