No pet owner wants to hear that their canine’s favorite dog food brand is under recall. However, at the very least, these recalls show that pet food brands, as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), are keen on ensuring our canine friends consume safe, toxicity-free foods.
There are different reasons why a pet food product is recalled. These include bacterial or chemical contamination, inadequate or excessive amounts of vitamins, or the presence of foreign, inedible contaminants such as pieces of plastic.
As recently as 2024, multiple brands have made headlines after recalling some of their well-known dog foods. Additionally, other pet food brands have been forced to address rumours circulating on social media suggesting their products are under recall.
Is IAMS among the brands that have issued a recall in 2024? Here’s what you need to know.
Has IAMS recalled its dog food in 2024?
Fortunately, there has not been a single IAMS dog food recall in 2024. Also, so far, there are no confirmed reports of dogs falling sick or dying after consuming food manufactured by IAMS.
Furthermore, the FDA hasn’t released any information regarding the IAMS being recalled. So, it’s safe to say that every product by IAMS is currently safe for consumption by your canine friend.

When was the last IAMS dog food recall?
IAMS’s last dog food recall occurred in 2013. In August 2013, IAMS voluntarily recalled several dry dog foods and cat foods due to possible Salmonella contamination.
In dogs, Salmonella infection leads to distressing symptoms such as bloody diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and appetite loss. Dog owners who handle dog food contaminated with Salmonella can also get infected if they fail to thoroughly wash their hands afterward.
