The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is an official division of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that is dedicated to protecting both human and animal health. CVM ensures the safety and effectiveness of animal drugs, monitors the safety of animal food, investigates product quality problems, and conducts research to support regulatory decisions. They also educate pet owners, veterinarians, and the animal health industry about the products they regulate and work to make more animal drugs available for minor species and limited uses in major species.
CVM's mission is to safeguard the well-being of animals and humans by regulating animal drugs, animal food, and animal medical devices. They strive to ensure that animal drugs are properly made, labeled, and packaged, and that food produced from treated animals is safe for consumption. CVM also collaborates with relevant FDA Centers and Offices to manage international activities and supports the development of new technologies and approaches that address health needs across human, animal, and environmental sectors.
