Protecting Pets
EPA is responsible for assuring that all pesticides sold in the
United States do not cause unreasonable risks when they are used
according to label directions and precautions. Every EPA-registered
pesticide product has an EPA registration number on its packaging.
If evidence arises to challenge the safety of a registered pesticide
product, EPA reviews scientific data and takes action if necessary
to reduce or eliminate the risks. Some flea and tick products are
drugs that are regulated by the Food
and Drug Administration Center for Veterinary Medicine. Learn more:
