Dog Food Recall 2026: Every FDA Pet Food Recall, Newest First

The most recent dog food recall of 2026 on the FDA's animal and veterinary recall list is from Fi, a New York company that on September 3 recalled two lots of its Calming and 8-in-1 Formula supplements for dogs over possible Salmonella contamination traced to an ingredient from its manufacturer. The FDA posted the notice on September 8, and as of October 18, 2026 no newer dog or cat food recall has been added to the agency's list. Below is every 2026 dog and cat food, treat and supplement recall and FDA advisory the agency has published so far, newest first, with what each hazard does to pets and people and what to do if your bag is on the list.

The latest recall: Fi dog supplements and Salmonella

Fi said the problem came from a single ingredient supplied to the company that makes its powders, and that the manufacturer paused production while it investigates. Two products are affected: Fi Calming supplement for Dogs, 180 g, lot 26118, and Fi 8-in-1 Formula supplement for Dogs, 180 g, lot 26159. They were sold directly to customers and through Amazon and Chewy.com. The company tells owners to stop using the product, seal the container tightly and put it in the trash.

Supplements are easy to forget in a recall check, so put powders and chews on the same checklist as kibble and treats.

Every 2026 dog and cat food recall, newest first

The table lists the recalls and advisories for dog and cat food, treats, milk replacers and supplements that the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine has posted in 2026. Dates are the FDA publish dates. Livestock feed and veterinary drugs are covered separately further down.

Two patterns stand out. Raw and freeze-dried foods account for most of the bacterial recalls: Raaw Energy, Albright's, Oma's Pride and Northwest Naturals all sell raw diets. And nutrient errors made up a large share of the year, from missing thiamine in Quest cat food to vitamin D and mineral swings in puppy and kitten milk replacers.

The biggest 2026 cases explained

Raaw Energy: from eight lots to more than 180

The year's largest pet food action started small. In January the FDA warned owners not to feed eight lots of Raaw Energy frozen raw dog food after a dog illness complaint to the Connecticut Department of Agriculture led state labs in Connecticut and New Jersey to test unopened packages. All eight samples carried harmful bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and Campylobacter jejuni. At that point the FDA said the company had not run an adequate recall. In May, after four more New Jersey samples tested positive for Listeria, Raaw Energy recalled everything it made between July 17 and December 23, 2025, plus one lot from March 31, 2026, and the FDA said it had received more complaints of sick animals since January.

Raaw Energy food has no lot codes; batches are identified by a manufacturing date on white stickers on the 2 lb or 5 lb clear tubes. If you cannot read the date, the FDA says to throw the food away.

Quest cat food and missing thiamine

Thiamine (vitamin B1) is essential for cats, which need roughly four times as much in their diet as dogs. In March the FDA said its testing of eight lots of Quest Cat Food, sold by Go Raw LLC under the Steve's Real Food name, found thiamine levels between zero and about 15% of the industry minimum of 5.6 mg per kg. A veterinary neurologist's report of a severely affected cat first alerted the agency. The company had recalled three lots at the time and stopped selling the Quest line; in June it expanded the recall to a freeze-dried chicken recipe sold for both cats and dogs.

Oma's Pride and Northwest Naturals raw diets

Both summer raw food recalls followed FDA testing. Oma's Pride recalled 639 bags of Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe after an FDA sample from a consumer complaint tested positive for Salmonella; three dogs became ill, and the company later clarified that no human illnesses had been reported. Two weeks later Northwest Naturals recalled one lot of a 2 lb chicken recipe sold as cat food and topper and one lot of its 6 lb raw dog diet after FDA samples found Salmonella in one and both Salmonella and Listeria in the other.

Fromm and Pedigree: foreign material

Fromm Family Foods recalled 3,852 cases of Turkey Pâté and 1,973 cases of Milo's Meatloaf Pâté canned dog food after complaints of metal in the cans; no injuries were reported. In July, Mars Petcare recalled two lots of Pedigree wet food over possible plastic pieces.

What each hazard does to pets and people

Salmonella

Dogs and cats with Salmonella may become lethargic and have vomiting, diarrhea that can be bloody, fever and belly pain; some only eat less. Many pets carry the bacteria without looking sick and shed it in feces and saliva, which is how it reaches people. In humans it causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps and fever, and occasionally spreads to the bloodstream. Young children, older adults and people with weak immune systems are most at risk.

Listeria monocytogenes

Listeria infections are uncommon in pets but can cause diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite and, in severe cases, nervous system signs. For people the stakes are higher: headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, and in pregnancy it can cause miscarriage or stillbirth. The FDA stresses that freezing does not kill Listeria, Salmonella or Campylobacter, so a frozen raw diet is not made safe by the freezer.

Campylobacter jejuni

A common cause of diarrheal illness in people, Campylobacter brings fever, cramps and often bloody diarrhea for about a week. Young dogs and cats get watery or bloody diarrhea, vomiting, straining and fever.

Thiamine deficiency

Early signs in cats are vague: less appetite and vomiting, sometimes within a week, sometimes after months. Later come the classic signs, including a head bent down toward the chest that the cat cannot lift, weakness, a wobbly walk, falling, circling and seizures. Untreated it can kill, but caught early it usually resolves once the diet changes.

Vitamin D and other nutrient errors

Too much vitamin D can make dogs vomit, lose appetite, drink and urinate more, drool and lose weight, and very high levels can damage the kidneys. Too little of a nutrient matters most in milk replacers, because newborn puppies and kittens fed by bottle get nothing else.

Aflatoxin and pentobarbital

Neither appeared in a 2026 dog or cat food recall on the FDA list so far. Aflatoxin, a grain mold toxin, was behind the deadly 2020 and 2021 Sportmix recalls, and pentobarbital, a euthanasia drug, led to the 2018 recall of canned dog foods made by The J.M. Smucker Company. Aflatoxin signs include sluggishness, refusal to eat, vomiting and yellow gums or eyes.

Metal and plastic

Swallowed metal or plastic can cut the mouth and gut or cause a blockage; watch for choking, vomiting, not eating and stomach pain.

What to do if your pet food is recalled

1. Find the lot code and best-by date. They are usually printed on the back or bottom of the bag, near the seam, or on a can lid. Compare them character by character with the recall notice; only the listed lots are affected.
2. Stop feeding it, but do not throw the bag away yet. Photograph the lot code and UPC. If your pet is sick, the vet or the FDA may want the food for testing, so store it sealed.
3. Get your refund. Most notices say to return the product to the store or contact the company. Fromm and Northwest Naturals send buyers back to the retailer; Oma's Pride asks customers to contact it directly.
4. Dispose of it safely. When you are done, put it in a sealed bag in a covered bin wildlife cannot reach. Never donate recalled food to a shelter.
5. Clean everything it touched. Wash bowls, scoops, storage bins, counters and the fridge or freezer shelf with hot soapy water and then a disinfectant, wash your hands, and pick up your pet's feces promptly.
6. Watch your pet and your family. Call your veterinarian if your pet shows symptoms, and a doctor if anyone in the household does.
7. Report it. In the US, file a pet food complaint through the FDA Safety Reporting Portal at safetyreporting.fda.gov. You can also call your state's FDA consumer complaint coordinator. A report helps the agency spot patterns, as happened with Quest and Raaw Energy.

Owners in Canada can report to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and in the UK to the Food Standards Agency. Fromm's recalled cans were sold in both the US and Canada.

Raw pet food and bird flu: the warning for cat owners

The H5N1 bird flu virus is the reason vets are especially wary of raw diets for cats. The FDA says cats, both house cats and wild felines, are particularly sensitive to the virus, and that investigations have tied infections to food, most often raw milk and uncooked meat. Dogs can also be infected, though usually with milder illness. In 2025 several raw poultry-based cat foods were recalled or flagged over H5N1, including Savage Cat Food Chicken in March 2025 and lots of RAWR Raw Cat Food Chicken Eats, where national lab testing matched the virus in the food to a sick cat.

The FDA now requires makers of cat and dog food who use uncooked poultry or cattle ingredients, raw milk or raw eggs to treat H5N1 as a known hazard in their food safety plans. Both the CDC and the American Veterinary Medical Association discourage feeding raw meat to pets. If you still feed raw, the FDA advises cooking it to USDA safe temperatures, keeping cats from hunting wild birds, and seeing a vet for fever, lethargy, low appetite, red or runny eyes, nasal discharge, breathing difficulty, tremors, seizures or sudden blindness.

No H5N1 pet food recall has appeared on the FDA's list in 2026 so far.

Veterinary drug recalls in 2026

The same FDA list carries animal drug recalls. In August, American Regent recalled two lots of Adequan Canine joint injection, and two lots of the horse version, over visible glass fibers. In January, Neogen recalled Vet HYCOAT hyaluronate solution over microbial contamination. If your dog had Adequan injections this summer, ask your clinic.

How to check pet food recalls yourself

• FDA animal and veterinary recalls list. The Center for Veterinary Medicine keeps a filtered list of company recall notices for pet food, treats, feed and animal drugs, with a downloadable spreadsheet.
• FDA Outbreaks and Advisories page. This is where the agency posts its own warnings, often when a company has not recalled enough lots, as with Raaw Energy and Quest. Check both pages; an advisory is not always on the recall list.
• The full FDA recalls page. Filter "Product Type" to Animal & Veterinary to see everything in one place.
• Your retailer and the brand. Online stores and loyalty programs can contact buyers of a recalled lot if they know what you bought.
• Keep the lot number. The FDA's own advice is to write down or photograph the lot code and best-by date before pouring kibble into a storage bin, and to keep the original bag inside the bin.

For a wider view of how recalls work across food, cars and children's products, our guide to checking any product recall walks through every agency. Human food recalls run on a separate track; the recent Kayem Foods meat and poultry recall came through the USDA rather than the FDA.

Which pets are most at risk

Puppies, kittens, seniors and pets with chronic illness get sicker from contaminated food, and so do households with babies, pregnant people or older relatives. Cats need extra care on two fronts: far higher thiamine needs than dogs, and the greatest risk from bird flu. Our guides to popular dog breeds and cat breeds cover health notes for each, and small breeds such as the Toy and Miniature Poodle are affected by smaller amounts of a bad food.

What happens next

Most 2026 recalls are still open: of this year's dog and cat food recalls, only the Elite Treats case is marked as terminated on the FDA list, meaning the agency is satisfied the product was removed. Fi's manufacturer is still investigating the contaminated ingredient. The FDA has also not said whether Quest's remaining lots were fully removed from stores. Raw food testing by the FDA and state agriculture departments has driven most new entries this year, so checking the two FDA pages monthly, and whenever you open a new bag, is the simplest habit that keeps a recalled lot out of the bowl.
