Fi Dog Supplement Recall: What to Check—and What to Clean

A pet-supplement recall is a reminder that “wellness product” and “risk-free product” are not the same thing. On September 8, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration published a company announcement concerning two Fi supplements for dogs because of potential Salmonella contamination.

The products and lots

  • Fi Calming supplement for Dogs, 180 g — lot 26118; UPC 8 50064 80011 1
  • Fi 8-in-1 Formula supplement for Dogs, 180 g — lot 26159; UPC 8 50055 11168 4

The company announcement is dated September 3; the FDA publication date is September 8. The products were distributed directly to consumers and through Amazon and Chewy. The notice concerns these named products and lots—not every Fi product.

What owners should do

The company instructs customers with an affected lot to stop using it, seal the container tightly and dispose of it in the trash. Fi lists a consumer phone number and email in the official announcement for questions.

Do not keep feeding a recalled product simply because the dog appears well. According to the notice, infected pets may show lethargy, reduced appetite, fever, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, or diarrhea that can be bloody. Some otherwise healthy pets can carry the bacteria. If a dog consumed an affected product and develops symptoms, contact a veterinarian.

Why the human side matters

Salmonella can also affect people who handle contaminated products or contact surfaces and animal waste. The CDC recommends washing hands with soap and water before and after handling pet food or treats, storing pet food separately from human food, and regularly cleaning items and surfaces that contact pet food.

A recall-specific routine can stay simple:

  1. Photograph the lot number and UPC before disposal.
  2. Keep the container closed and away from children, other animals and human-food areas.
  3. Wash hands after handling it.
  4. Clean the scoop, storage area and food-contact surfaces.
  5. Monitor the dog and contact the veterinarian if symptoms appear.

Cleaning does not make the recalled product safe to use. It reduces the chance of carrying residue from the product into the rest of the home.

What this recall does—and does not—tell us

The recall began because an ingredient supplied to Fi’s manufacturer might be contaminated; the manufacturer suspended production while investigating, according to the announcement. That is meaningful safety information. It is not evidence that every dog supplement is contaminated, nor does it prove that supplements as a category are ineffective.

It does, however, show why benefits such as “calming,” “8-in-1” or “daily wellness” should be evaluated separately from manufacturing and food-safety risk. Marketing describes the intended benefit. A lot number tells you whether the exact container in your home is part of a recall.

A stronger household habit

Keep the original package or a clear photo of the label until the product is finished. Record the brand, product name, lot number, UPC and best-by date. Our guide Save the Bag explains why this small habit matters.
