Frequently asked questions

Who makes Authority pet food?

Authority is manufactured by PetSmart house brand.

Where is Authority made?

Authority pet food is made in US.

Is Authority WSAVA-aligned?

Authority is not on our WSAVA-aligned shortlist. That doesn't automatically mean the food is poor quality — many strong brands haven't pursued WSAVA recognition — but it means we lack independent confirmation of feeding-trial validation and on-staff veterinary nutritionist staffing.

Has Authority ever been recalled?

No Authority products match any FDA recall in our tracked feed. Two caveats worth stating plainly: our feed covers FDA recall notices from late 2025 onward, so a recall older than that would not appear here; and brand matching is deliberately conservative, so a recall naming a parent company or a co-manufacturer rather than Authority itself may not be linked. For a definitive answer, check the FDA's own recall database.

How does Authority score in our analysis?

Authority averages 81/100 across 106 products in our catalog. Individual product scores combine ingredient quality, AAFCO compliance, and controversial-additive severity. See the methodology page for the full algorithm.
