PetFAST

The Pet Food Adverse Event System of Tracking (PetFAST) is a veterinary reporting system to track suspected adverse events related to pet food, pet meat and treats, and to identify possible patterns indicating a problem.

It’s a joint initiative of the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) and the Pet Food Industry Association of Australia (PFIAA).

Veterinarians can report details of suspected adverse events associated with pet food, pet meat or treats for dogs and cats, while AVA and PFIAA monitor other submissions that may indicate a large scale or significant problem. If that happens, a joint committee of AVA and PFIAA will meet to discuss what action should be taken.
