What should I do if I'm worried about a treat I've bought?

Pointer dog treats — recall information

Pointer is a UK dog treat brand known for its milk bone biscuits and grain-free rolls, and "Pointer recall" is a query we take seriously enough to answer directly: we are not aware of any current recall notice affecting Pointer products, but here is exactly where to check for yourself and what we stock from the range.

Checking for a recall yourself

The most reliable place to check for a current UK pet food recall or safety alert is the Food Standards Agency's own alerts page, which lists recalls across all brands as they are issued, rather than relying on a shop's own awareness of the situation.

Manufacturers also publish recall notices directly on their own websites and social media when one is issued, so checking Pointer's own official channels alongside the Food Standards Agency gives you the most current picture available.

What we stock from the Pointer range

Our range includes Pointer's milk bone-style biscuits and grain-free rolls, among other treats from the brand. We stock a selection rather than the whole Pointer catalogue, and what is shown in the grid above reflects what is currently available to order.

If you are ever concerned about a specific product you have bought, keep hold of the packaging, including any batch code, since that is the information a manufacturer or retailer will ask for if a concern is ever raised about a particular batch.

Why we answer this directly rather than staying quiet

Search terms like "brand recall" often come from someone who has read something concerning online, half-remembers a news story, or simply wants reassurance before feeding a treat to their dog, and a shop that ignores the question is less useful than one that answers it honestly, even when the honest answer is "we don't currently know of one, but here is how to check properly".

This page will be updated if that position changes for Pointer specifically. In the meantime, treating any single unverified claim about a recall with caution, and checking an official source before acting on it, is good practice for any brand, not only this one.
