Dog food manufacturer Encore has recalled its Beef Selection in Gravy multipack dog food as the Beef Steak with Potatoes in Gravy tin could potentially have small pieces of metal in. Sharp or pointy objects can potentially perforate dog's intestines, and immediate veterinary care should always be sought if you suspect your dog has eaten even small bits of metal.
Customers who have purchased the product have been advised to not give it to their pet, and instead return it to the store where they bought it for a refund. The safety warning issued by the Food Standards Agency said: "We urge customers who have bought this product not to feed it to their dog and return it to the store with or without a receipt from where it was bought for a full refund."
It said there were three batches of products affected, reports the Mirror. These are:
