Stay informed and keep your pets safe with the latest recalls and safety alerts.
When it comes to your pet’s health, staying ahead of pet food recalls is just as important as what goes into their bowl. Every month, the FDA and pet food companies issue safety alerts and recalls due to contamination risks, undeclared allergens, and quality issues.
If you’re feeding your dog or cat commercial food or treats, staying informed isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Here’s what’s new this month and what you need to do to keep your pet safe.

How to Check If You’re Affected
To check if you’re affected by a pet food recall, find the lot number and UPC on your pet food packaging and compare it with the official list on the FDA Animal & Veterinary Recalls Page.
If there’s a match, stop feeding the product right away and follow the company’s return or disposal instructions. When unsure, contact your vet, especially if symptoms appear.
Signs Your Pet May Have Eaten Recalled Food
If your pet has eaten recalled food, whether it’s contaminated with salmonella, mold, or has an unbalanced nutrient level, the symptoms can show up in different ways. Some may be mild at first, while others could escalate quickly.
Keep an eye out for the following warning signs:
- Lethargy or sudden weakness
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Excessive thirst or frequent urination
- Loss of appetite
- Unusual behavior, restlessness, or mood changes
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Call your veterinarian right away.
What to Do If You Have a Recalled Product
Here are 5 things you should do:
- Stop feeding it immediately.
- Dispose of it securely—preferably in a sealed bag, away from animals.
- Wash your hands and any surfaces that touched the food.
- Report the issue to the FDA or the product’s manufacturer.
- Keep packaging and receipts in case you’re eligible for a refund or exchange.
