Pedigree is recalling a certain high-protein dog food because it may contain metal and plastic, the company said, prompting a warning to pet owners to check what is in their cupboards.
According to the recall, the affected product's flavor cans may be impacted, and customers are being urged to take a close look at the food they have already bought.
No injuries have been reported in connection with the recall, the company said, though the possible presence of metal and plastic in the food was enough to prompt the action.
Pet owners are being asked to throw out the affected dog food rather than continue feeding it to their animals, as a precaution.
Customers are also being told they can request a replacement from Pedigree for the recalled product, the company said.
Recalls of this kind are typically issued as a precaution when a possible contaminant is identified, with the aim of removing the affected product from homes before any harm occurs.
