TikTok Shop sellers offering pet supplies, including pet food, pet supplements, and electrical pet products
To sell pet supplies on TikTok Shop, you must pass category qualification by submitting documentation that proves you're eligible. The specific documents required depend on what type of pet supplies you're selling and your role (manufacturer, importer, reseller, etc.). Pet supplies are also subject to TikTok's Restricted Products Policy, so you must follow both sets of rules.

Pet health products (medicated flea/tick treatments, veterinary medications, vaccines, medical equipment) are prohibited
Electrical pet supplies must meet TikTok's Requirements for Electronic Products
