In 2007, there were massive pet food recalls primarily due to the inclusion of melamine in protein sources from China. In the US, this resulted in revisions in the regulations of what is included in pet food and how recalls should be managed. This program will look at the pet food industry, recent pet food recalls and regulation.

Learning Objectives:

To learn about recent pet food contamination and its impact on the health of our companion animals
To learn about legal action that has been taken to lower the risk of future pet food contamination.
To learn about online resources to help animal guardians protect their companions, such as databases recording current pet food recalls.
