⚠ Important recall information appears below.

Lori Taylor changed her family’s diet to include less-processed foods. When her Great Dane, Truman, became ill, she wanted to expand healthier eating to her pets as well. The formulas include freeze-dried raw meat, a process designed to retain the nutritional values of the ingredients. The company was named after Truman.

TruDog says its ingredients truly set it apart: “Made in the USA from free-ranging, Wisconsin grass-fed USDA beef, meaty bones and whole organ meats, our quality is unparalleled. You will never find any grains, fillers, preservatives or coloring in any of our products.”

Has TruDog Ever Been Recalled?

Yes. In April 2018, because of concerns about potential salmonella contamination, the company initiated a “withdrawal” of a single lot of its TruDog Boost Me freeze-dried raw dog food topper. In February 2018, a positive salmonella test led to a voluntary recall of a single lot of TruDog Treat Me freeze-dried raw dog treats. Full recall information appears below.
