An adverse event refers to any undesirable outcome or negative experience reported after the use of a product related to pets, regardless of whether the product directly caused the issue. This can include illness, injury, or death of an animal, or even negative health effects on a human exposed to a pet product.
Reporting Adverse Events:
It's crucial for pet owners, retailers, and veterinarians to report adverse events to the relevant authorities (like the FDA for animal drugs and devices) or directly to the manufacturer. This helps identify potential safety issues and prevent future incidents.
