OTTAWA – Health Canada is advising consumers and pet owners not to use homeopathic and veterinary products made by King Bio Inc. and labelled as “Dr. King’s,” “Dr. King’s Natural Pet” or “Natural Pet.”

Health Canada says the products may pose a health risk to people and pets, especially children, pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems, because of potential microbial contamination.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says high levels of microbial contamination were identified at the manufacturing site in Asheville, N.C.
