1. I want to start making dog treats and selling them on social media and at local farmers markets. What do I need to do to be compliant with SC rules and regulations?
The SC Commercial Feed Act can be found here. SCDA requires the product(s) to be registered and properly labeled. Registration information can be found on the Feed Safety Compliance page. Be aware that although it is acceptable to make pet food or treats in your home kitchen at this time, it is discouraged because your home kitchen may be subject to inspection in the event of a complaint or food safety incident.
2. My pet became sick after eating the pet food/feed I purchased. What can I do to bring this to the attention of SCDA?
SCDA records complaints for animal feed and pet food. You may call the SCDA Feed Safety Program at 803-734-0238 and explain that you would like to file a complaint about an animal feed or pet food. More information about complaints can be found on the Feed Safety Compliance Page.
