Two dog supplement products distributed nationwide through Amazon and Chewy have been recalled due to possible Salmonella contamination. Pet owners who purchased these items should check their containers and stop using them immediately if they match the recalled lots.
Recall Details
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the recall covers 6.35-ounce (180-gram) containers of Vet Plus, Inc.'s Fi Calming Supplement for Dogs and Fi 8-in-1 Formula Supplement for Dogs. The affected packages bear lot numbers 26118 and 26159 and the UPC codes 850064800111 and 850055111684. The products were sold on Chewy.com and Amazon.
Symptoms And Human Risk
Dogs infected with Salmonella may show vomiting, diarrhea, fever, lethargy, decreased appetite, or abdominal pain. The FDA warns that animals that appear healthy can still carry Salmonella and spread it to humans or other animals.
"There is a potential risk to humans from handling contaminated products or from animal waste after the animals have ingested the product." — FDA recall notice
What Owners Should Do
- Stop using any product that matches the recalled lot numbers or UPCs.
- Discard the recalled containers with the lid tightly closed to reduce the risk of spreading contamination.
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the product, and clean any surfaces that contacted the supplement.
- If your dog shows symptoms of Salmonella infection, seek veterinary care promptly.
Why This Matters
These recalls highlight how contamination can turn routine purchases into health risks. Recent examples of other food and product recalls over contamination or foreign material include:
- Lidl pulled certain snack bars after a contamination concern prompted an urgent recall.
- King Harvest recalled hummus over a plastic contamination concern affecting a widely consumed item.
- More than 120,000 pounds of pulled pork sandwiches were recalled nationwide following a concerning discovery.
Monitoring recall notices and acting quickly helps protect pets and household members. For questions about the recall or to report an illness in a pet or human, consult your veterinarian and refer to the FDA recall announcement.
