Go Raw/Steve's Real Food freeze-dried pet food recalled over low vitamin B1

Go Raw has expanded a recall of certain freeze-dried dog and cat foods, including products sold under the Steve's Real Food line, after the FDA warned that they may contain dangerously low levels of vitamin B1 (thiamine). Thiamine deficiency in pets can cause serious neurological problems such as weakness, loss of coordination, tremors, seizures, and altered mental state. The recalled freeze-dried products were distributed in at least 20 U.S. states, and retailers have been urged to remove them from shelves. No illnesses were reported in the provided summaries, but the deficiency poses serious health risks if the food is fed as the main diet. Pet owners should immediately stop feeding the affected products and seek veterinary guidance if their animals show symptoms.

Recalled puppy formula linked to sick shelter puppies

News reports from June 4, 2026, indicate that a recalled puppy formula has been associated with illnesses among shelter puppies, raising concern among pet owners and animal welfare groups. The issue reportedly involves a recalled formula that may have remained in use or not been properly removed, potentially exposing vulnerable puppies to a health hazard. Affected animals are dogs, especially young puppies whose immune systems are still developing. While the specific brand, lot numbers, and recall reason were not detailed in the available reports, the incident highlights the importance of swift pet food recall response and clear communication with shelters, rescues, and foster homes. Pet owners should verify whether any puppy formula they have is subject to a recall, stop feeding it immediately, and watch for signs of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. Quick action can help protect young dogs from serious complications.
