Answer

We've heard your concern about the recent news on Sheba Meaty Tender Sticks. While recalls can be alarming, it's essential to verify if the specific batch you have is affected.

  • Check the batch number on your product against the recall list.
  • Monitor your dog for any unusual symptoms.
  • Contact a vet if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

Recalls often occur out of an abundance of caution. If the affected batch has been consumed, it's critical to keep a close eye on your dog for signs of discomfort or illness, such as changes in appetite, vomiting, or lethargy. Eating a product from a recalled batch doesn't always mean your pet will become ill, but staying vigilant is key.
