Which products are affected

Fi recalled two 180 g dog supplements because of possible Salmonella contamination: Calming, lot 26118, and 8-in-1 Formula, lot 26159. They were distributed directly and through Amazon and Chewy. Read the original source.

What owners should do

The company’s notice says to stop using affected lots, seal the container tightly and dispose of it in the trash. Compare the lot printed on your container with the official notice; a brand name alone does not identify the affected batch.

Why handling matters

The notice warns that contamination can affect animals and people handling products or animal waste. Wash hands after contact. If an animal ate a recalled product and develops symptoms, contact a veterinarian. The concern is possible contamination, rather than a claim that every container has tested positive.

Create a record before discarding identifying information

If you still have the container, keep a clear record of its product name, package size and lot code so you can compare it with the notice and discuss it with the seller or veterinarian. This is a recordkeeping step, not a reason to keep using the supplement. The conceptual image above is not a reference photograph for identifying a recalled lot.

Use the recall notice as the action guide

A recall applies to the scope stated in its notice. Avoid expanding a specific lot recall to every product from a company, but also avoid assuming an unlisted detail proves your container safe when you cannot identify it. If the code is unreadable, use the company contact information in the official notice to resolve the match.

FDA maintains a separate list of animal-product recalls and withdrawals. It can help you look for notices affecting another product without relying on a general social post. FDA animal-product recall list.

Prepare useful information if you need professional help

If your dog becomes unwell or you are concerned about an exposure, contact a veterinarian and provide the product, lot, use dates and symptoms you observed. Do not use a blog article to diagnose the cause or choose a treatment. If a person becomes unwell after handling a recalled product, seek appropriate medical advice.

Keep what you observed separate from what you suspect. “The supplement was given on these dates” is a useful record; “the supplement definitely caused the illness” requires evidence that an owner may not have. You can report a concern without claiming certainty. When forwarding a warning, include the exact notice so another owner can check their own product rather than guessing from a brand logo or illustration.
