Pets

Selling dog collars, leads and ID tags online? Check what the Control of Dogs Order 1992 requires on a tag, keep microchipping separate, plan engraving space, size collars in centimetres, sell quick-release cat collars, and price and refund personalised items correctly.

Homemade dog biscuits and cat treats are pet food in law. Register before you sell, find out if your recipe needs APHA approval, write a statutory statement for each pack, keep toxic ingredients out and word your listing without medical claims.

Before you sell pet products online in the UK, check which rules apply: feed registration and labels for food and treats, product safety for accessories, VMD rules for flea treatments, plus returns and tax.
