Two dog supplements sold on Amazon and Chewy just landed on a federal recall list because they might carry Salmonella.
Story Snapshot
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says Fi Calming supplement for Dogs and Fi 8-in-1 Formula supplement for Dogs may carry Salmonella.
- Both products were sold directly to customers and through Amazon and Chewy.com.
- Fi traced the risk to an ingredient from an outside supplier and has paused production while it investigates.
- Salmonella can make dogs sick and spread to the humans who handle contaminated products or scoop the affected supplement.
- The recall follows a familiar pattern seen across the pet food and supplement industry over the past two years.
What The FDA Recall Actually Covers
Fi, a pet tech company based in New York, is recalling two specific products by name and lot number. The affected items are Fi Calming supplement for Dogs, 180 grams, lot 26118, and Fi 8-in-1 Formula supplement for Dogs, 180 grams, lot 26159. Each has its own UPC code printed on the package label.
The FDA notice says the risk comes from an ingredient supplied to Fi’s manufacturer, not from Fi’s own facility. That distinction matters because it points to a supply chain problem rather than a mistake inside Fi’s production line. The manufacturer has suspended production of the products while it investigates the source.
Fi did not sell these supplements only through its own website. The company confirms the recalled bags reached customers directly and through two of the biggest online retailers in the country, Amazon and Chewy.com.
That reach means the recall touches a wide swath of dog owners who never dealt with Fi directly and may not even remember which brand they bought.

Why A Contaminated Supplement Bag Is More Than A Pet Problem
Salmonella infections in dogs often cause diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite. Some dogs carry the bacteria without showing any symptoms, which makes the risk harder to spot at home. A seemingly healthy dog can still shed the bacteria and expose everyone in the house.
People face a real risk too. Anyone who scoops, mixes, or touches the contaminated supplement and then touches their face or food can get sick. Federal health officials publicly confirmed the recall, underscoring that this is a household safety issue, not just a pet health footnote.
A Familiar Pattern In Pet Product Safety
This recall did not happen in isolation. Over the past two years, similar Salmonella-driven recalls have hit raw and dry pet food brands including Mid America Pet Food, Viva Raw, and Northwest Naturals. Each case followed the same basic shape: a specific lot or ingredient source triggered the action, not a wave of confirmed illnesses.
In some past cases, the stakes proved higher. Federal investigators once linked Mid America Pet Food products to seven confirmed human Salmonella infections, working alongside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to trace the outbreak back to specific manufacturing lots. That history shows why regulators move fast on contamination risk even before anyone reports getting sick.
The recurring thread across these cases is upstream risk landing on downstream retailers. Ingredients or raw materials cause the problem, but the brand names and the stores that sold the product, Amazon and Chewy in this case, end up carrying the headline. It is a structural weak spot in how pet products move from supplier to shelf, and it keeps resurfacing.
What Dog Owners Should Do Right Now
Check any Fi Calming or Fi 8-in-1 Formula supplement in the house against the listed lot numbers and UPC codes. If the bag matches, stop feeding it to your dog immediately and set it aside. Do not toss it in a regular trash can where pets or wildlife can access it.
Contact Fi or the retailer where you purchased the product to ask about a refund or replacement. Watch your dog for signs of illness over the next several days, and call a veterinarian if symptoms appear. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling any recalled product, and clean any surfaces or scoops that touched it.
