Yet another recall this month due to metal contamination. Cat owners are advised to stop feeding their pets this food if it matches the name, recipe and best by date outlined below. This Wellness cat food recall has been added to the Safe Pet Treats app. Be sure to download the app and use it the next time you purchase your pet food because the cat food you’re buying might be recalled!
The following can be found on the Wellness Pet Food website:
Here at WellPet we work hard every day to make sure our natural pet food is the best it can be. So when we were notified this week that a very small amount of our canned cat product may not have been manufactured to our high-quality standards, we decided to voluntarily recall it from retailers’ shelves.
Though the chance of having affected product is remote, withdrawing these products is the right thing to do.
Keeping your trust in our brand is so important to us, and so we wanted to let you and our retailers know right away. Since the products may not have been made consistent with our quality assurance guidelines, we want to replace them. Our Quality team learned that a foreign material was found in non-WellPet products made in the same facility, and so we are taking this conservative step to ensure the well-being of cats and to put our consumers’ minds at ease.
The recipes are in 12.5 oz. cans with the following best buy dates:
| Wellness Chicken & Herring Canned Cat 12.5 oz, best by date of 8/4/19 |

As a parent of a yellow lab named Rommel, I understand the sense of responsibility we all share for our dogs and cats. Rest assured we are taking every action to ensure that our highest standards are being met, and product quality and safety will always be our top priority.
