What to Do?Ĭonsumers who purchased the affected products can call the Company at 80, Monday through Friday 9 AM to 5 PM ET. If you are interested in the FDA’s definition of a withdrawal and how it differs from a recall, you can find that information in the Definitions section of the FDA’s website. We have narrowed the focus of our investigation to a single supplier and a single, minor ingredient, used at one manufacturing facility. We take this very seriously and are extremely disappointed that pentobarbital was introduced to our supply chain. Please know our internal investigation into this situation is ongoing.
We encourage them to contact us at 80 or via email here. We sincerely apologize for the concern this has caused.Īlthough veterinarians and animal nutrition specialists, as well as the FDA, have confirmed that extremely low levels of pentobarbital do not pose a threat to pet safety, we understand pet owners may have concerns. However, the presence of this substance at any level is not acceptable to us and not up to our quality standards. Veterinarians and animal nutrition specialists, as well as the FDA, have confirmed that extremely low levels of pentobarbital, like the levels reported to be in select shipments, do not pose a threat to pet safety. This means retailers will remove the impacted shipments from their warehouses. Out of an abundance of caution we initiated a voluntary withdrawal (not a recall) on specific shipments of Gravy Train, Kibbles ‘N Bits, Ol’ Roy, and Skippy canned/wet dog food because they do not meet our quality specifications.
