Functional or forbidden? Navigating the gray area of pet treats with health benefits
Thursday, October 30 | 1:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. PT | Innovation Stage: Booth #5014, Bayside D, Level 1
Are functional pet treats a wellness win — or a regulatory risk worth taking? As pet brands blur the line between treats and supplements, they're entering a gray zone where innovation often outpaces regulation. In this candid conversation, we'll explore both sides of the issue. Learn what's legally allowed, which lines brands are walking (or crossing) and why some believe it's time for the rules to evolve. Join Todd Harrison, a co-chair of Venable's FDA Group for this informative and interactive session that will unpack real-world risk, regulatory nuance, and what it takes to responsibly bring functional pet products to market without sacrificing creativity or compliance.
