Mars Petcare has issued a voluntary recall of two lots of PEDIGREE® Can High Protein Chopped Chicken & Duck Flavor wet dog food because the cans may contain sharp metal and plastic foreign material. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and multiple news outlets announced the recall beginning July 2, 2026. The affected product is believed to have been fraudulently distributed, or diverted from a lot designated for destruction, and reached store shelves and consumers nationwide. No illnesses or injuries are confirmed in the reports, but ingestion of metal or plastic pieces could cause choking, mouth injury, or gastrointestinal damage in dogs. The recall specifically affects dogs. Pet owners who have purchased the affected cans should stop feeding them immediately, check the lot codes and UPC against the recall notice, and dispose of or return the product to the place of purchase. If a dog shows signs such as vomiting, lethargy, difficulty eating, or abdominal pain after eating the food, contact a veterinarian promptly.
Go Raw has expanded a voluntary recall of its freeze-dried dog and cat food because the products may contain insufficient levels of an essential vitamin. News reports describe the deficiency as low Vitamin B1 (thiamine) in some outlets and vitamin D in others; both can lead to serious health problems. The recall covers multiple lots sold across about 20 U.S. states, and some reports indicate more than 400,000 pounds of pet food have been pulled. Because the deficiency may trigger neurological symptoms, pet owners are urged to stop feeding the affected food right away and to watch for signs such as weakness, tremors, or behavior changes. Checking lot numbers against the official FDA or company recall notice and contacting a veterinarian if symptoms appear are the safest next steps.
A pet food recall has been expanded after reports of rickets and elevated vitamin levels in animals that ate the affected products. The expansion comes as a precaution after additional safety concerns surfaced beyond the original recall. Rickets, a bone-development disorder, paired with abnormally high vitamin concentrations, suggests a serious nutritional imbalance that could harm pets. Affected animals may include dogs and other pets; possible symptoms include bone pain, lameness, weakness, or changes in appetite, thirst, and urination. Pet owners should take the recall seriously because imbalanced pet food can cause illness, organ damage, or long-term skeletal problems. Consumers should stop feeding the recalled food immediately, return it to the retailer for a refund, and check lot numbers against the official recall list. If a pet shows signs of illness, owners should contact a veterinarian promptly and monitor updated recall notices for newly added products.

On June 4, 2026, Truth about Pet Food reported that a recalled puppy formula was linked to illness among shelter puppies. The incident suggests the formula may have been used or stored despite the recall, possibly because of oversight or communication failures, and that affected puppies may not have received timely care. Dogs—especially young puppies—are at risk because they depend on formula for nutrition and have limited immunity. The case highlights why pet-food recalls must be taken seriously, particularly in group-care settings where vulnerable animals are housed. It also serves as a broader warning for pet owners and caretakers to monitor young dogs closely, remove recalled products immediately, and respond quickly to illness symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or poor appetite.
