No one wants to offer their pet buddy food that can make them sick, as doggie parents it is sad to see them unwell not to mention the potential bill from the vet!
That’s why we compiled the most detailed list of dog food recalls. This list, which is updated regularly, includes all of the dog food recalls from both this year and the past.
When a pet food recall occurs, we want to be the first to tell you and your dog about it. Your dog will be safer the sooner we alert you to any issues. We accomplish this by keeping abreast of AVA and other trustworthy sources.
The dog food recalls below are listed from newest to oldest.

Understanding Dog Food Recalls
Dog food recalls can occur due to contamination (bacteria, foreign objects), mislabeling, or nutritional imbalances. Regulatory bodies like the AVA oversee pet food safety, working with manufacturers to ensure quality.
Best Practices for Pet Owners
- Research Brands: Choose reputable brands with transparent practices.
- Check Ingredients: Avoid fillers and artificial additives.
- Proper Storage: Store dog food in a cool, dry place and check expiry dates.
Reporting pet food problems:
Australien citizens can ask the vet to lodge a report on PetFAST if you both agree that pet food or treats may be implicated. PetFAST is a joint initiative of the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) and the Pet Food Industry Association of Australia (PFIAA).
