Searched on November 10, 2026. Sources read: the FDA Outbreaks and Advisories list (https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/news-events/outbreaks-and-advisories), entries dated May 16, 2016 through October 26, 2026; live FDA recall notices at https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts; the FDA recalls datatable (https://www.fda.gov/datatables-json/recalls-market-withdrawals.json), rows dated 2017 through November 10, 2026, a complete-enough archive from 2024-01-01 and not a complete archive before that; the FDA animal-and-veterinary recalls table (https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/safety-health/recalls-withdrawals), 61 rows on November 10, 2026; and Wayback Machine snapshots of the FDA CVM recalls list (http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/RecallsWithdrawals/default.htm and https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/safety-health/recalls-withdrawals) for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The 2019 and 2020 list pages load their rows with a script, and those rows are not in the snapshots, so coverage for 2019 and 2020 is incomplete. Notices retrieved from pages that could be opened span January 14, 2010 through November 10, 2026. A count of 0 means no dog-food notice for that brand is listed from these sources. Notices opened and then excluded, because they are cat food only or name a different brand or product, are listed with the reason on that brand's page and in the JSON exclusions array. A count of 0 does not mean every FDA list was checked for that brand.
