Animals on which drugs are tested are typically euthanized following completion of the study. This is done because the animals are a biased pool for future studies (i.e they have already received one treatment which is not typical of the population) and are therefore not useful for other studies. Additionally, there are two primary responses which a study would explore: acute and chronic. The vast majority of testing is acute toxicity testing because chronic toxicity requires a much longer time period and is often less applicable to humans than acute. Acute studies involve applying very large doses to determine the lowest observed adverse effect level, lowest lethal dose (the dose at which the first animal dies), the LD50 (the dose at which 50% of the population dies), and the absolute lethal dose (the dose at which every administered creature dies). In that regard, the studies primarily focus on how much it takes to kill an animal, and the survivors are later euthanized.

What products are ok to test in animals?

I think none! Testing products on animals is animal testing which I strongly disagree with! Animal testing, if it goes wrong its the animal that suffers. Animal testing can put a lot of stress and pain on animals. I think that animals deserve rights to be free of being tested with things that cause them pain and even kill them.
