⚠ Important recall information appears below.

In 1930, Charles Hyde and David Vredenburg opened a small general store in Beaconsfield, Iowa. That store grew to become Hy-Vee — a company known for excellent service and reasonable prices.

They sell their own line of pet food and treats as well as other brands in the stores.

Has Hy-Vee Pet Food Ever Been Recalled?

Yes. This brand was recalled in 2013 because of possible aflatoxin. It was also involved in the large melamine recall of 2007.
