How do I know if my dog is sick?

Salmonella infections are a common reason for dog food recalls. Symptoms include lethargy (lack of energy), diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, and abdominal pain. Healthy pets may still carry the bacteria, serving as potential sources of infection to other animals or humans. Should your pet show these symptoms after consuming the recalled product, a prompt veterinary consultation is crucial.

To see more about illnesses related to salmonella, visit the salmonella outbreak page at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Listeria is also a common reason for dog food recalls. Dogs can be carriers of listeria without any serious symptoms. More serious symptoms can include mild diarrhea, vomiting, fever, muscle pain, breathing problems, pregnancy loss, and death.

What should I do if my dog food has been recalled?

Navigate to our recall reporting page to see instructions on how to contact the company and ask for a refund. Check if your dog is behaving normally, and contact a healthcare provider or veterinarian immediately if they are showing unusual symptoms.

Which brands are good and have not been recalled?

View our A-Z list of dog food brands to see recall histories and which brands have never been recalled (they have a heart beside their names).

How can I get dog food recall alerts?

Subscribe to the Pet Food Recall Alerts to receive timely alerts on pet food recalls. Our service ensures you’re immediately informed about important safety notices, sending the latest updates directly to your inbox.

What’s the difference between a recall and a Market Withdrawal

A recall is initiated when a product violates FDA regulations and could lead to legal action. In contrast, a market withdrawal involves minor issues or non-violations that do not warrant legal action by the FDA.
