Description:
This report examines key policy options-self regulation, co-regulation and government regulation-to manage the safety of prepared pet food for domesticated cats and dogs in Australia. Pet food safety in Australia is currently self regulated with voluntary industry standards applied through the Pet Food Industry Association of Australia (PFIAA). Member companies of the PFIAA account for close to 98 per cent of pet food sales in Australia. The industry Code of Practice has recently been replaced by the more stringent Australian Standard for the Manufacturing and Marketing of Pet Food (AS 5812-2011). The key finding in this study is that self regulation is likely to be the most cost effective policy option to manage pet food safety in Australia
