RECALL HISTORY // INSTINCT

2 FDA Recalls On Record

JUL 24, 2015
SALMONELLA

Instinct® Raw Chicken Formula for dogs Matched by brand. The notice lists the exact products and lots.

FEB 15, 2013
PLASTIC PIECES

Pet food Matched by brand. The notice lists the exact products and lots.

None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, starch, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a bag. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
