My dog's food was recalled. Is it safe now? What about old recalls?

When a dog food is recalled do they eventually resolve the problem? Should I be concerned if a food was recalled a while ago?

Generally yes, the bad food will be removed off the shelves and replaced with food that is safe. If you are not sure if your food is recalled, call the pet store you purchased it from or call the company. If a company has many issues with recalls, this can indicate poor quality control. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
