Dog Food Recalls – The Important Things to Know

You don’t want your dog to get sick, and neither does your pet food company. Still, sometimes things go wrong and products need to be removed from the market. When this happens, dog food companies and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will publish alerts to let you know. A dog food recall may happen because it contains an unapproved pesticide, too much of a mineral-like copper or calcium, or potential contamination.

What are the Types of Pet Food Recalls?

There are two major types of pet food recalls: voluntary recalls, which are issued by the company, and ordered recalls, which come directly from the FDA. Most recalls are voluntary—your pet food company doesn’t want to sell you contaminated food—but some are enforced by the government. The FDA can either request or order a dog food recall, depending on the severity of the problem. You’ll want to pay particular attention to ordered recalls, which are used on products with the biggest problems. Once the product has been recalled, the FDA will issue an alert and the company will work on fixing the problem. The FDA will make sure the dog food is safe before allowing it back on the market.

What About Dog Treat Recalls?

Dog treats may also be recalled, usually by the company selling them. Just like your regular dog food, they may contain unwanted ingredients that could make your dog sick. If your dog’s favorite treats get recalled, stop using them immediately and switch to a safer brand.

What Should You Do if Your Dog Food Gets Recalled?

The first thing you should do is stop feeding the recalled food to your dog. Then read the details of the pet food recall to make sure your brand is exactly the variety being recalled. If it is, try to find another dog food with similar ingredients. That way you’ll avoid upsetting your dog’s stomach by changing its food suddenly. After that, look out for symptoms of illness in your dog. If you notice any changes, you may want to schedule a checkup with your veterinarian. And that bag of recalled dog food? Take it back to the store. You should be able to get a full refund.
