Abstract

The population of pets in the developed countries was increased significantly in the past ten years. The owners are concerned about the safety of pet products. However, no special pet product safety standards or certification schemes are available. The industry applied the human product safety standards on the pet products, which may be detrimental to pets because some human-safe food could be toxic for pets. This paper develops a pet food safety evaluation (PFSE) scheme to distinguish the harmful human food for pets based on artificial intelligence (AI) schemes. The paper firstly introduced the current market of pet products in the developed countries. Secondly, the major differences between toxic substances to humans and pets were reviewed. The available pet food standards were then discussed. Then, the feasibility of applying human food certification schemes to pet food products is studied. Finally, the PFSE is described, and an illustrative simulation is done.
