The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) of Hong Kong officially released the "Pet Food Safety Guidelines" in June 2026, providing advice specifically for pet food manufacturers, sellers, and pet owners.

BC Pets breaks down the key points and includes practical tips so your pet can eat safely and healthily. 1. What counts as 'safe' pet food? According to the guidelines, safe pet food should be of good quality and consistent, generally cooked or heated to a high enough temperature to kill bacteria and prevent pet food poisoning. If it is a staple food, it should provide all the nutrition your pet needs. 👉 When choosing staple foods, pay attention to whether the packaging displays words like "Complete & Balanced," which is an important indicator of meeting nutritional standards. 2. Dry Food, Wet Food, Fresh Food, Raw Meat Grain—How to Score? There are many types of pet foods on the market.

Buying Cat and Dog Food in Hong Kong: Official Goods vs. Parallel Imports vs. Mainland Online Shopping (Taobao/Pinduoduo) Which Is the Best? （2026）

Quick answer: There are mainly three sources for buying cat and dog food in Hong Kong—official goods (authorized imports, with local guarantees and after-sales service), parallel imports (parallel imports, cheaper but without local warranty or quality guarantees), and mainland online shopping (Taobao, Pinduoduo, lowest price but highest risk). Overall safety and protection: official goods are the most reliable, parallel imports come next, and mainland online shopping carries the greatest risk. The main concerns of mainland online shopping include: counterfeit goods, lack of temperature control during cross-border transport causing food spoilage under Hong Kong's high temperature and humidity, regional differences in formulas and labeling, and the near-inability to recover after an incident. Selection principle: Genuine products are the first choice; If considering parallel imports or online purchases, be sure to check the batch and expiration date, watch out for low prices, and accept the risk of no local after-sales service. Key Highlights (TL; DR）： Hong Kong's pet food is 'no royal regulation': Local laws generally do not regulate the production, import, or distribution of pet food; safety mainly depends on the credibility of the source. Official goods = Guaranteed: authorized agent for import, genuine product guarantee, Chinese labeling, and claims from…
