Mars Petcare has voluntarily recalled two lots of PEDIGREE Can High Protein Chopped Chicken & Duck Flavor wet dog food after product that was slated for destruction was allegedly diverted and sold. The recall, announced by the FDA and company, covers cans that may contain sharp metal and plastic foreign material, posing risks of choking, cuts, or internal injury to dogs. The affected product was distributed nationwide and appeared at retail locations. While no pet injuries are confirmed in the reports, the presence of hard fragments in wet food is a serious hazard. Dog owners should locate any matching cans, stop feeding them, and return or safely discard them. Checking lot codes and UPCs against the official recall notice is essential. This case also highlights how diverted or fraudulently distributed pet food can reach consumers, underscoring the need for supply-chain vigilance and recall monitoring.
A pet food recall has been expanded after reports of rickets and elevated vitamin levels in affected animals, prompting health authorities to warn owners to return the product immediately. The expanded recall follows additional cases of illness linked to the food, which may cause developmental bone problems such as rickets due to vitamin imbalances and elevated vitamin concentrations. Young, growing animals may be especially vulnerable to rickets, which can lead to weakened or deformed bones. The affected animals are categorized as companion animals, and pet owners who have purchased the recalled product are urged to stop feeding it right away and return it to the place of purchase. Vitamin imbalances can cause serious health issues, including bone deformities, organ damage, and other systemic problems. This recall highlights the importance of monitoring pet food safety and acting quickly when recalls are issued. Pet owners should check recall notices, watch for symptoms, and contact a veterinarian if their animal shows signs of illness.

Go Raw/Steve's Real Food has expanded a recall of freeze-dried dog and cat food across roughly 20 U.S. states because the products may contain dangerously low levels of thiamine (vitamin B1), a nutrient deficiency that can cause serious neurological problems in pets.

Thiamine is essential for nerve and brain function; deficient diets can lead to appetite loss, weakness, wobbling, and seizures.

Consumers should check lot codes and product lists, return or discard affected food, and contact a veterinarian if symptoms appear.
