Rules for selling pet food, pet health products, pet supplements, and other pet supplies including labeling and regulatory requirements.

Pet food must meet AAFCO nutritional adequacy statementsPet supplement claims must not make veterinary drug claimsFlea/tick and other pesticide products require EPA registration

What this covers

Pet food and supplements on TikTok Shop are regulated differently depending on what they claim to do — food-grade products trigger AAFCO nutritional adequacy requirements, while supplements that make veterinary drug claims risk FDA or EPA enforcement. Flea, tick, and parasite control products must carry EPA registration numbers, and listing one without it results in removal. Getting the distinction between "nutritional support" and "treats disease" wrong is the most common compliance error sellers make in this category.

Start with the current guidance below, then use recent updates for context on what shifted.
