Three Companies Issue Recall on their Pig Ear Dog Treats
Your Dog’s Health is important to us here at Natural Dog Food’s Canine Chatter and we routinely check for Recall notices that may affect the wellbeing of your dog. Three such notices recently came to our attention. The threat of salmonella contamination also affects the humans in your family because it can be transferred to us when we handle the product. First lets start with the symptoms:
Salmonella Symptoms in Dogs include fever and vomiting, bloody diarrhea as well as decreased appetite and energy. If your dog has eaten the recalled product and is showing any of these symptoms please contact your veterinarian.
Salmonella Symptoms in Humans include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. If you suspect exposure contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Only those with Product Code: 75-121 Lot # 12-06-10 have been potentially contaminated. This lot was shipped to distributors and retailers between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28 on the East and West coasts.
