Dog owners are being urged to check their pet food after thousands of cases of canned dog food sold in the U.S. and Canada were recalled over potential metal contamination.

Fromm Family Foods is recalling roughly 5,800 cases of two wet dog food products after receiving complaints of metal contamination, according to a company announcement posted by the Food and Drug Administration.

The recall covers 3,852 cases of Fromm Turkey Pâté Wet Dog Food and 1,973 cases of Fromm Diner Classics Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté Wet Dog Food.

The products were distributed through neighborhood pet stores and online retailers across the U.S. and Canada.

No illnesses or injuries tied to the products have been reported, but ingesting metal can pose serious risks to dogs.

The company said symptoms can include choking, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy and stomach discomfort. Sharp pieces of metal can cause cuts to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, while larger amounts could lead to a partial blockage or intestinal obstruction.

The affected Turkey Pâté comes in 12.2-ounce cans with UPC 072705118700 and lot code EP2A3306 551006.

The recalled Milo’s Meatloaf Pâté comes in 12.5-ounce cans with UPC 072705132324 and lot code EP2A3306 551029.

Consumers should stop feeding the recalled food to their dogs and return it to the retailer. Owners whose dogs ate the products and are experiencing symptoms should contact a veterinarian.

The recall comes just days after another dog food company pulled nearly all of its fresh meals amid reports of potential eye problems in dogs.

U.K.-based subscription pet food company Years said earlier this week that 192 customers had reported potential eye issues in their dogs, including sudden bilateral dry eye, a condition that can lead to permanent vision loss in severe cases if left untreated.

Years is investigating whether potentially contaminated buckwheat used in its meals could be a contributing factor. The company said no causal link between its food, buckwheat and the reported eye problems has been established, and testing remains underway.
