Wedgewood Pharmacy Issues Nationwide Recall of Pet Meds Over Potency Issues

Wedgewood Pharmacy, a compounding pharmacy that supplies a broad menu of medicines for dogs, cats, horses, exotic, zoo and even aquatic animals, has announced a voluntary recall of several of its products.

The recall isn’t driven by expiration dates – the drugs are still within their labeled shelf lives – but by a worrisome note from the company’s own lab. In a statement posted on its website, Wedgewood said it uncovered “inconsistencies in the reliability of certain analytical testing data,” meaning the results that prove a drug’s potency were not trustworthy.

When a pharmacy can’t be sure a medication is the right strength, it can be too weak to treat an illness or, conversely, strong enough to cause toxicity or an overdose. Because of that uncertainty, Wedgewood decided the responsible course was to pull the affected lots from the market.

According to the FDA, the company has already fielded 98 complaints about the products, seven of which are classified as serious. The agency is urging anyone who has received or used a recalled item to contact their veterinarian right away.

The recall covers shipments made between February 18 and October 6, 2026, that were sent to veterinary practices, pharmacies and other customers across the United States. The affected items span a wide range – powders, pastes, suspensions, injectables, eye and ear drops, sprays and gels – and were intended for companion, equine, exotic, zoo, wildlife and aquatic patients. They are not meant for food‑producing animals.

A complete list of the recalled products, including lot numbers and expiration dates, can be found on the FDA’s website or through the table Wedgewood provided in its notice.

If you own an affected medication, stop using it immediately but keep it in a safe place. Then call Wedgewood’s recall hotline at 866‑562‑5931. Their hours are Monday‑Friday, 8 a.m.‑9 p.m. ET, and Saturday, 9 a.m.‑5 p.m. ET. The company, working with recall‑management firm Sedgwick, will arrange a refund or a replacement whenever possible.

Veterinary clinics, pharmacies and other commercial customers are asked to quarantine any inventory that matches the recall description and to notify any pet owners who may have already received the medication.

Any adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the recalled products should be reported to the FDA by calling 1‑888‑FDA‑VETS or by filing a report online at fda.gov/reportanimalhealth.
