Dog Treats Recalled Due to Salmonella Fears

A dog treat manufacturer is recalling some of its product after routine testing discovered a batch was contaminated by salmonella bacteria.

According to WSB-TV, Nylabone’s 1.69-ounce Puppy Starter Kit with lot number 21935 and an expiration date of March 22, 2018 is affected by the recall. The contaminated treats could infect both humans and dogs, the company says. Fortunately, Nylabone says that they have not received any reports of people or pups getting sick due to their product.

Salmonella is a nasty bacterial infection which can cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. In some cases, infections can cause arthritis, urinary tract problems, and inflammation of the heart.

Anyone who has purchased contaminated product can return it to its place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers seeking additional information can call 1-877-273-7527 from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. CT.
