Is there a Nylabone recall?
There is no evidence of an active, current recall affecting Nylabone products sold in the UK at the time of writing. Nylabone, like many pet product manufacturers, has had isolated voluntary recalls in the past — most notably a 2015 US recall of one specific batch of puppy chews over a salmonella risk — but that was a single dated batch, not an ongoing issue with the brand.
What to actually check
Recall notices are specific to a product, a batch or lot number, and often a date range, not to a brand as a whole. If you are concerned about a chew you already own, check the packaging for a lot number and compare it against any notice published by the manufacturer or, in the UK, the Office for Product Safety and Standards, rather than assuming an old US recall applies to a product bought here.
If you cannot find a specific match and you are still concerned, the most reliable step is contacting the manufacturer directly with the product name and any batch information from the packaging, since they hold the definitive record of what has and has not been recalled.
What we do if a recall is ever issued
If a genuine recall affecting stock we sell is issued, the appropriate response is to stop selling the affected batch and remove it from where it can be bought, which is standard practice for any retailer regardless of brand. Nothing about how a product is described on this site should be read as reassurance against a recall that may exist but has not been checked specifically for the batch in your hands.
If you have already bought a chew you are worried about, stop giving it to your dog while you check, rather than continuing to use it and checking afterwards. Most concerns turn out to involve a product or batch outside any recall notice, but it costs nothing to pause use while you confirm that.

Common questions
- Has Nylabone had a recall recently?
- There is no evidence of an active recall at the time of writing. Nylabone has had isolated historic recalls tied to specific batches, including one in the US in 2015 over a salmonella risk in a single lot of puppy chews, but nothing indicating an ongoing current issue.
- How do I check if my Nylabone chew is part of a recall?
- Check the packaging for a lot number and compare it against any notice published by the manufacturer or a recognised safety authority. A recall applies to a specific batch, not to every product carrying the brand name.
- Are Nylabone chews generally safe for dogs?
- Millions are sold and used without incident, but like any chew, the right size and hardness matters for your specific dog, and any chew should be supervised, particularly for a strong or determined chewer.
- Where can I find official UK recall notices for pet products?
- The Office for Product Safety and Standards publishes UK product safety and recall notices, and manufacturers typically also publish recall information directly on their own websites. Checking both is more reliable than relying on older overseas news reports.
