Has There Ever Been a Catswell Recall?

There have been Catswell recalls, according to our research.

Several varieties of jerky treats from both Dogswell and Catswell were recalled in the Summer of 2013 for the stated reason of "antibiotic residue." Calling it "residue" or "traces" doesn't quite do it justice; a better term would be "unacceptable quantities of illegal antibiotics such as sulfa drugs and trimethoprim" in the treats.

Quite a few chicken or duck jerky treats made in China — including other well-known brands such as Waggin' Treats, Canyon Creek Ranch and Milo's Kitchen — were pulled from stores in 2013 after pets died. Also, in 2012 a Catswell product was recalled because of potential propylene glycol.
