This document contains Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) guidelines for the preparation by the Canadian pet food industry and the documentation requested for certification of pet food prior to export. The exporters must ensure that they have the required certificate endorsed, and have their importer confirm with the specific importing country that the certificate is completed in an acceptable fashion for the specific consignment.
