This month, three pet food companies recalled various products that may have been exposed to Salmonella. Popular brands Best Buy Bones, Raw Bistro Pet Fare, and Foodynamics each voluntarily recalled several lots of product, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported in separate October releases.
The FDA shared that pets infected with Salmonella may experience diarrhea, fevers, vomiting, or general lethargy. Less extreme symptoms include decreased appetite and abdominal pain.
According to PetMD, pet parents should take their pet to the vet or an animal hospital if they have diarrhea that "occurs with decreased appetite, lethargy, fever, and blood in the stool." With supportive care — hydration, rest, antibiotics — most dogs can weather a diagnosed Salmonella infection. PetMD noted that without treatment, diarrhea and illness caused by Salmonella "can lead to dehydration, sepsis, and even death."
For humans handling contaminated pet food, unwashed hands and surfaces can increase the likelihood of exposure. If infected with Salmonella, people may experience "nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever," according to the FDA. In rare cases, Salmonella exposure can lead to "arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms," the agency's releases added.
The following products were included in the recalls. If your pet has consumed a recalled product and displays any of the above symptoms, consult a veterinarian. If you experience any human-related Salmonella symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical advice from a healthcare professional.
