I just found out about this. Posted by Vadon (Member # 4561) on :
Did a check on our pet treats and didn't have any of the ones listed... phew.

My dog is safe for another day, luckily I had none of the treats listed. Thanks accio
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Ditto on the thanks; my puppies are also ok.

Ok, something is off here. Pets eat raw food all the time.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Not all raw food is contaminated with salmonella.
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
Ok, here it is:

I don't think the pets get it
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Yes, they can. The bulk of the recall notice was aimed at human health issues, but it is also a concern for the pets, as well.
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
Yes, they can carry, but I think the human version doesn't make them sick and vice versa. This recall is the human version and doesn't seem to be the one that can make pets sick.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
That may be so. The recall recommends not giving the treats to pets, though, and I certainly wouldn't knowingly give my dogs anything that had any risk of salmonella of any type. To my mind, better safe than sorry, ESPECIALLY when it comes to my dogs.
