On February 7 in the United Kingdom, Happy Hounds recalled a range of its frozen raw dog food products on a precautionary basis because they may pose a risk to human and animal health, according to the UK Food Standards Agency. Sampling undertaken by Happy Hounds has identified elevated levels of bacteria indicating a potential risk. A withdrawal and recall have been actioned by the company.
This follows when, in January, Happy Hounds initiated a recall of certain types of frozen raw dog food because salmonella has been found in the products.
