Two Fi brand dog supplements were recalled on September 3, 2026, because they may contain Salmonella, a dangerous bacterial contamination that can sicken both pets and the humans who handle the products. The recall affects the Fi Calming Supplement for Dogs and the Fi 8-in-1 Formula Supplement for Dogs, distributed through major retailers including Amazon and Chewy.

What Symptoms Should Pet Owners Watch For?

Pets that consume contaminated supplements may develop a range of symptoms. Salmonella infection in dogs can cause lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some infected pets may show only mild signs, such as decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. The concern extends beyond individual pets: even healthy animals that carry the bacteria can transmit it to other animals or humans in the household.

For people, the risk comes primarily from handling contaminated products or coming into contact with animal waste after a pet has consumed the recalled supplements. Salmonella infection in humans can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. While rare, the infection can lead to more serious complications, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.

How to Identify and Handle Recalled Products

• Fi Calming Supplement for Dogs: 180 g size, lot number 26118, UPC 8 50064 80011 1
• Fi 8-in-1 Formula Supplement for Dogs: 180 g size, lot number 26159, UPC 8 50055 11168 4
• Distribution Channels: Products were sold directly to consumers and through online retailers Amazon and Chewy

If you purchased either of these specific lots, discontinue use immediately. Make sure the container is tightly sealed and dispose of it in the trash. Do not attempt to return it or use it for any purpose.

Steps to Protect Your Household

• Check Your Purchases: Verify the lot number and UPC on any Fi supplements you own to determine if they match the recalled products
• Monitor Your Pet: Watch for symptoms of Salmonella infection, including lethargy, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, or loss of appetite, and contact your veterinarian if any appear
• Practice Hand Hygiene: Thoroughly wash your hands after handling any pet supplements, touching surfaces that may have been exposed to the products, or cleaning up after your pet
• Secure the Product: Keep the recalled supplement in a tightly sealed container away from children and other pets until you can dispose of it safely

The risk of Salmonella transmission to humans increases significantly if people do not thoroughly wash their hands after contact with contaminated products or animal waste. This is particularly important in households with young children, elderly individuals, or immunocompromised family members, who are more vulnerable to serious complications from bacterial infections.

Pet owners who have already given their animals the recalled supplements and notice any of the symptoms mentioned should contact their veterinarian promptly. Veterinarians can perform tests to confirm Salmonella infection and provide appropriate treatment. Additionally, if you experience symptoms of Salmonella infection yourself after handling these products, seek medical attention and inform your healthcare provider about the potential exposure.

This recall highlights the importance of monitoring supplement quality and staying informed about product safety alerts.
