LATEST DOG FOOD COURTESY OF CHARLOTTE ANIMAL HOSPITAL updated 4/26/13 The link to the recent FDA recalls is: http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/S...efault.htm

It is important for you to know that when there is a Pet Food Recall. It does not necessarily mean that the brand of food will have the brand name listed on the front of the label. In fact, you would be surprised to know that many pet foods are made that do not have a manufacturing plant of their own, so they pay other manufacturing plants to make their food. So even if the Brand Name isn’t listed in the recall list, it would be a good idea to scan the press releases to be sure your pet’s food is not on any of the lists. The FDA website will allow you to look at each individual press release to see if your pet’s food is listed.

It is also important for you to know that a Pet Food Recall may not only affect your pet, it could affect you as well. For example, “the FDA and CDC announced they were investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infection in people due to contact with the pet food” (avma.org, 2012). To view this article from the AVMA, follow this link: http://atwork.avma.org/2012/05/06/mor...recall-2/. So keeping informed of any recent pet food recalls is not only important to your pet, but to you as well. For tips on preventing an infection with Salmonella from handling dry pet food and treats you may follow this link to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) website: http://www.cdc.gov/Features/SalmonellaDryPetFood/.

To go to the FDA website to check on current recalls click on the link below and follow the instructions we have included.

Link to FDA website: http://www.fda.gov/default.htm

Once you have gained access to the FDA website, you will see several tabs below the pictured slide show presentation. Under the tab labeled “Recalls & Alerts”, click on “Recalls & Safety Alerts”.
Scroll down to “Recently Posted Recalls”. From there you can look up all FDA recalls. But if you would like to specifically check on your pet’s food, click on the tab labeled “Animal Health”.
From this tab you will have access to all of the brand names that have been recalled in the last 60 days. Be sure that when searching for your pet’s food, look under the “Brand Name” and “Company Name” columns. As stated above, the company that manufactures the food does not necessarily have to be listed on the front of the pet food label. You can either click on the “Brand Name” that is highlighted or click on the “Details/Photo” icons to view the Press Release Form that will list the entire name of the product and may include the size, the UPC code, and the best by date. It will also include contact information to the company that manufactured the food.
If you would like to receive email alerts when there is a recall of an FDA-regulated product, click on the red letter icon to sign up. It will take you through the process and let you choose what type of alerts you will receive. This is a great way to stay up to date on the pet food recalls.
If your pet is showing signs of illness and it has been fed a recalled product, you should contact your veterinarian first. After your pet has been treated you should report the problem to the FDA. To do this you would click on the “Report a Problem” tab. Then you would click on “Report a Non-Emergency”. This will bring you to the page that instructs you how to report a non-emergency. To learn more about “the FDA and Pet Food” there is a great video on the FDA website we recommend you to watch.
