Common methods for testing products on animals include:
– Acute Toxicity Testing, which exposes animals to a substance at varying levels to determine the LD50 (lethal dose required to kill 50% of test subjects)
– Skin Irritancy/Sensitization tests, which measure how quickly and severely a substance will cause skin irritation or allergic reactions
– Eye Irritancy tests, where eye drops containing chemicals are placed into the eyes of animals for extended periods
– Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity tests, in which test samples are administered to pregnant female animals in order to measure effects on offspring development and reproduction
–Genotoxicity studies, examining the presence of carcinogens in substances  so that results can be used as reference for human safety data.

Some common methods for testing products on animals include skin irritation tests, in which the product is put on the skin of an animal; toxicity tests, which analyze how the product affects the animal’s internal organs and bodily functions; subchronic tests, which assess how long-term exposure to a product affects an animal’s health; and carcinogenicity tests, designed to find any potential cancer-causing agents in a product.
