Pet food company Foodynamics is voluntarily recalling several brands of its dog and cat products due to possible salmonella contamination.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified specific lots of Raw Dog Barkery, BellePepper Cats, Kanu Pets, and What’s In the Bowl brand freeze dried pet treats as being affected by the recall.
A pet with salmonella infection may exhibit symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets may only show decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain.
Infected pets who appear healthy can be carriers and infect other animals or humans.
Humans are also at risk of infection if they handle the contaminated product and do not thoroughly wash their hands.
