US pet owners are urged to check their pantries after Pedigree voluntarily recalled a popular dog food product over concerns that some cans may contain sharp metal and plastic fragments, posing a serious health risk to dogs.

On 2nd July, Mars Petcare issued a voluntary recall for two lots of Pedigree's 13.2-ounce cans of High Protein Chopped Chicken & Duck Flavor for dogs.
