The takeaway

Connecticut pet food maker Oma's Pride has recalled 639 bags of its frozen Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe after Salmonella contamination sickened three dogs. The affected product was distributed to 11 states between February and May 2026. The FDA says pet owners should discard the food and watch pets for lethargy, diarrhea, fever or vomiting.

Oma's Pride, a pet food maker based in Avon, Connecticut, has recalled 639 bags of its Woof Complete Canine Chicken Recipe frozen raw dog food after the FDA confirmed Salmonella contamination linked to three pet illnesses.

What's affected

The recall covers 6-pound bags of the chicken recipe, sold as 12 individually wrapped 8-ounce portions, under lot number BB012729 and SKU F-WOOFC-6. The product was manufactured January 27, 2026, carries a best-by date of January 27, 2029, and was distributed between February 12 and May 15, 2026, to Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Why it was recalled

The FDA says it tested a sample submitted as part of a consumer complaint and it came back positive for Salmonella. That triggered the recall, though the agency has not disclosed how many total complaints it received beyond the three reported pet illnesses.

What pet owners should do

  • Stop feeding the product immediately and check bags against lot number BB012729 and SKU F-WOOFC-6.
  • Discard the affected food; do not feed it to any animal.
  • Wash hands, bowls, scoops and any surfaces that contacted the food with hot, soapy water.
  • Contact a veterinarian if a pet shows lethargy, diarrhea (including bloody diarrhea), fever or vomiting after eating the product.

Raw pet food and Salmonella risk

Raw and frozen raw pet foods carry a higher baseline Salmonella risk than cooked or processed products, since there's no heating step to kill bacteria. The FDA notes Salmonella can also spread to humans handling contaminated pet food, even if the pet itself shows no symptoms.
