Manufacturers are recalling the following dog foods. If you think your dog has eaten any of the products or are in any doubts please contact the manufacturer or your local FDA agent.
Evanger’s and Against the Grain
Evanger’s Dog and Cat Food Company is expanding its recall of beef products over fears they may be contaminated with the fatal drug pentobarbital.
Potentially Fatal
Pets who eat Pentobarbital show signs of dizziness, drowsiness, or excitement. They may suffer from nausea and a loss of balance and in extreme cases, death.
The three affected products in 12oz cans are listed below, with the second half of their barcode.
- Evanger’s Hunk of Beef (#20109)
- Evanger’s Braised Beef (#20107)
- Against the Grain Pulled Beef (#80001)
All three have expiration dates from December 2019 to January 2021.
Pigs’ Ears
EuroCan Manufacturing is recalling its pigs’ ears under the brands HoundsTooth, Mac’s Choice, Barnsdale Farms, and Barnsdale Farms Select over fears they may be contaminated with Salmonella.
All the products are individually shrink-wrapped, 25, 12 and 6 pack bags of pigs ears marked with Lot 84.
Salmonella Fears
Owners are also at risk of Salmonella from handling the food. In serious cases, Salmonella can lead to endocarditis, arthritis, and urinary problems. Human symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, and fever.
Dogs with Salmonella can suffer bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. They will often have a decreased appetite.
Blue Buffalo Dog Food
Blue Buffalo is recalling some batches of three types of its dog food:
- Blue Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe
- Blue Divine Delights
- Blue Wilderness Trail Trays
High Levels of Hormones
The Rocky Mountain is the most seriously affected product, with fears the food has high levels of beef thyroid hormones.
Dogs who have eaten excessive levels of this hormone can lose weight or suffer an increased heart rate. This may escalate to breathing difficulties, diarrhea and vomiting. Symptoms to look out for include abnormal thirst or urination and restlessness.
The affected product is Blue’s Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe Red Meat Dinner, a wet food for adult dogs. The 12.5 oz cans being recalled have the UPC code: 840243101153. They are all marked on the bottom with a best-by date of June 7, 2017.
