About Pet Drug Reports
Last checked against the FDA pages:
Pet Drug Reports counts the adverse event reports that the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine received for animal drugs. It shows the counts by active ingredient, species, breed, clinical sign and month.
The data have 1,378,761 reports, received from January 1987 through . FDA publishes them through openFDA.
What the site is for
FDA publishes the reports as large data files. An owner cannot read them. This site counts the reports and shows each count with the words of FDA about the data.
- An owner can type a brand name or an active ingredient and see the counts for that drug.
- A veterinarian or a reporter can download the counts as CSV files.
- Each page of a drug, species, breed, clinical sign or month starts with a quotation of FDA about what the counts do not show.
What the site leaves out
- Advice. The site does not say what to give an animal, or whether to stop a drug. A veterinarian can examine the animal.
- Rankings. The site does not rank drugs, compare them or grade them. A clinical sign, a breed or a species can have a position by the number of reports.
- Claims of cause. A report does not show that a drug caused a sign.
- Counts for brands. The openFDA records mask the brand name, so no count belongs to a brand.
- People. The site shows no name of an owner, a reporter or a clinic.
- Text of reports and lot numbers. The site counts coded fields only.
How the pages are made
A program makes every page with counts from the FDA files. It runs each day.
The program has one fixed sentence for each fact. It puts the figure from the files in the sentence, so the same files always give the same text. No generative AI runs when the site is built.
The words of FDA are quotations. A quotation has quotation marks and a different typeface. The page names the FDA page that the words come from.
The sentence rules, the guides, the glossary and the pages about the site were written with an AI writing tool. Zippie is responsible for them. Each page shows the date of its last check against FDA pages. How the site counts reports gives the rules in full.
Funding
The site is free to read. Zippie pays for the site. The site shows no advertisement and no sponsor for now.
An advertisement, when the site shows one, has a label. An advertiser cannot change a count, a sentence or the order of a list.
The rule of the site: no advertisement goes inside the quotation of FDA.
