Pet Food Recall Checker

Is Your Dog’s Food Safe? Check for Recalls

Search real U.S. FDA recall records by brand or product name — for example “Blue Buffalo” or “Purina”. Free, no sign-up needed to search.

Data source: U.S. FDA openFDA, updated daily. This checker searches the FDA’s Enforcement Reports — a brand can have recalls announced in FDA press releases that are not in this dataset, so also check the FDA’s full Recalls & Withdrawals list for animals.

Latest Pet Food Recalls

This list refreshes automatically from the FDA once a day and shows the most recent pet food records in the Enforcement Reports dataset, newest first.

What the recall classes mean

Class I — most serious

There is a reasonable probability that eating the food will cause serious health problems or death. Stop feeding it immediately and call your vet if your dog has eaten any.

Class II — medium risk

Eating the food may cause temporary or reversible health problems, or the chance of a serious problem is remote. Stop feeding it and watch your dog closely.

Class III — low risk

Eating the food is not likely to cause health problems, but it breaks an FDA rule — for example a labeling error. Follow the recall instructions anyway.

What to do if your dog’s food is recalled

  1. Stop feeding the food right away. Do not donate it or feed it to other animals.
  2. Check the lot numbers and dates on your bag or cans against the “code info” on the recall page.
  3. Keep the packaging (or a photo of it) — you will need it for a refund, and your vet may ask about it.
  4. Return the food to the store or contact the company using the recall instructions for a refund or replacement.
  5. Wash bowls, scoops, storage bins and your hands — salmonella and listeria can linger on surfaces.
  6. Call your vet promptly if your dog has eaten recalled food, especially with vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite.

Safe alternatives

If your dog’s food is recalled, the safest “alternative” is a fresh bag of a food your vet is comfortable with — bought from a retailer who can trace its lot numbers. Switch gradually over 5–7 days unless your vet says otherwise, and keep the old packaging until you know your dog is fine.

Frequently asked questions

Where does this recall data come from?

Every result comes live from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s openFDA Enforcement Reports database, cached for 24 hours so the page stays fast. BreedFix does not write, edit, or invent any recall record.

My brand shows no recalls. Does that mean the food is safe?

No. It means no matching record was found in the FDA Enforcement Reports dataset at the time of the search. That dataset does not contain every recall the FDA has announced — some recalls appear only in FDA press releases. Always also check the FDA’s Recalls & Withdrawals list for animal products, and call your vet if your dog is unwell.

What does Class I, Class II and Class III mean?

Class I is the most serious: eating the food could cause serious health problems or death. Class II may cause temporary or reversible health problems. Class III is unlikely to cause health problems but breaks an FDA rule, such as a labeling error.

What should I do if my dog’s food is recalled?

Stop feeding it at once, check the lot numbers on your packaging against the recall, keep the packaging for a refund, wash bowls and storage bins, and contact your vet if your dog has eaten any of the recalled food.

How do the email alerts work?

You tell us which brands you feed. We check the FDA data every day, and we email you only when a brand you watch gets a new recall. You can unsubscribe with one click from any alert email.

BreedFix is not a veterinary service. Recall data comes from the U.S. FDA. If your dog ate recalled food, contact your vet.
