What Happened with the Royal Canin Recall?
Royal Canin is a pet food brand that was originally founded by Jean Cathary, a French veterinarian. The company established itself as the number one pet food supplier in Europe and, over the years, expanded into the global market. Sales penetrated the US market upon acquisition of the company by Mars Incorporated.
Under Mars Inc's management, Royal Canin had two separate incidents of contamination that triggered a recall. The first was in February 2006 where thousands of canned pet food were recalled due to excessive levels of Vitamin D3. Reports of several dogs and cats being ill as a result of Vitamin D poisoning were made. The recall process was swift and easy because the specific brand was exclusively sold at vet clinics.
The second recall incident happened in April and May 2007. Thousands of Royal Canin dry dog foods were recalled due to potential melamine contamination. At the time of recall, the products were sold across the US, Canada, and South Africa.
Who is Eligible for a Royal Canin Recall?
Any pet owner who purchased any of the recalled Royal Canin pet foods is eligible for a refund. Whether you purchased your Royal Canin pet food from a vet clinic or a retail store, all you have to do is provide the following:
- Purchase receipt

Do I Immediately get a Recall if I Report my Product?
If you have a defective product that has no open recall and would like to get a refund, the first step is to report the product. You can do this by contacting the FDA or Consumer Protection agencies and providing substantial evidence supporting your claim.
Evidence can include:
- Videos showing the product's defectiveness
- Photos
- Doctor's notes in cases of contamination
While it's important to report defective products, it doesn't always guarantee a refund. An investigation will be carried out into your issue and, if successful, you may get a refund or other form of compensation. With DoNotPay you can increase your chances of getting a refund. We help you compile compelling evidence and get your case heard by the right people.
