Pet industry policy

Legal analysis: China's pet products industry has a high degree of marketization, and the production and operation of industrial enterprises are market-oriented. Government departments only provide policy guidance and supervision for industry development, and industry associations are responsible for self-discipline management within the industry. The main department in charge of the pet products industry in China is the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Self-regulatory organizations in pet products industry can be divided into overseas self-regulatory organizations and domestic self-regulatory organizations. Overseas industry self-regulatory organizations mainly include the World Pet Association, the World Federation of Dog Industry, the American Pet Products Association and the German Pet Trade and Industry Association. Self-regulatory organizations in domestic pet products industry mainly include China Working Dog Management Association, China Small Animal Protection Association, China Etiquette Products Industry Association, and China International Agricultural Cooperation Promotion Committee.

Legal basis: Article 1245th of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if the animals raised cause damage to others, the animal keeper or manager shall bear the tort liability. However, it can be proved that the damage was caused by the intentional or gross negligence of the infringer, and it cannot bear or mitigate the responsibility.
