New Zealand Pets & Veterinary recalls

Pet and veterinary recall notices for New Zealand help you check the products you own. Pet products are recalled for contamination and nutrient imbalance in food, incorrect dosage or contamination in veterinary medicines, and injury risks in collars, harnesses, toys and aquarium equipment. The relevant identifiers depend on the product: food may have a batch and best-before date, while medicines may have a batch and registration number. Check the product, species and identifiers against the official notice, and distinguish instructions for pet owners from those intended for veterinary professionals.

This hub lists relevant notices available from official New Zealand product-safety and veterinary notices we index. Check that the notice applies to a product supplied in New Zealand. Distribution details, model variants and supplier contact information may differ from an overseas notice for a similar item. Use the original New Zealand notice to confirm the affected product and the action requested.

How to check if you are affected

A pet and veterinary-product notice can apply to a narrow group of products rather than everything sold under a brand name. Before acting, compare product names, lot or batch codes, best-before dates, pack sizes, animal type and supplier details against the product you own. The official notice may also name retailers, regions, images, component versions or distribution periods. These details matter because they help distinguish an affected item from a similar product that is not included in the notice. If something does not match, do not assume the alert applies without checking the source page.

• Food batch or lot code and best-before date against the official notice
• Product variant, pack size and animal species listed
• Medicine batch and registration number where specified
• Accessory or equipment model and serial number where specified

What to do if your product is on the list

If food or treats match a recalled product, do not feed them to your pet and follow the official return or disposal instructions. Keep the product and batch details available, and contact your veterinarian if your pet may have been affected or is unwell. For a veterinary medicine, follow the notice and ask the prescribing veterinarian about any treatment changes or replacement. For accessories and equipment, follow the stated stop-use or remedy instructions. Do not assume advice for one species, product or batch applies to another.

Use the latest-recalls list below to scan current notices, then open a card when you find a possible match. The detail page brings together the title, affected-product information, identifiers, dates, images where available and a direct source link. You can also use the filters and search tools to narrow the results by words, category and country.

This page is updated as source material becomes available through the RecallScope data pipeline. A missing result does not prove that a product is safe or that no notice exists: regulators can change, correct or remove public information, and notices can apply only to specific products or markets. Keep packaging, receipts, serial details and other identifiers until you have compared them with the original notice. They are often needed to obtain a repair, replacement or refund.
