Summary

Party Animal Inc. is recalling approximately 783 cases of Cocolicious canned dog food because the products tested positive for pentobarbital. This voluntary recall includes two specific varieties: Beef and Turkey and Chicken and Beef, both sold in 13-ounce cans. The affected products were distributed to retailers in several states including California, Texas, and Washington. Consumers should not feed these products to their pets and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Pentobarbital is a barbiturate drug used as a sedative, anesthetic, or for euthanasia in animals. Consuming food contaminated with pentobarbital can cause pets to experience drowsiness, dizziness, excitement, loss of balance, or nausea, and in high doses, it can result in serious illness or death.

  2. Check your pantry for 13-ounce cans of Cocolicious Chicken and Beef with Lot Number 0134E15 237 13 and a Best By Date of August 2019.
  3. Immediately stop feeding the recalled food to your pets if you identify these lot numbers and dates on the packaging.
  4. Return any affected cans to the retail store where they were purchased for a full refund.
  5. If your pet has consumed the recalled food and exhibits symptoms such as drowsiness, loss of coordination, or vomiting, contact your veterinarian immediately.
