Resolved Question: Salmonella - has anyone's dog ever actually got sick from it?20 November 2009, 8:16 pmIn light of yet another recall of dog products due to salmonella and always hearing warnings about how 'dangerous' raw meat and eggs are I got to wondering.
I know that there was recently a kibble recall after some owners fell ill but I've never heard of a dog actually getting ill from salmonella. I'm not talking about finding it in stool samples because nearly 40% of dogs will show salmonella when tested BUT actual full blown illness.
FDA Health Alert for Certain Pet Treats Made by Pet Carousel
For Immediate Release: Nov. 5, 2009
Products may be contaminated with Salmonella
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is issuing this health alert to warn consumers not to use Pig Ears and Beef Hooves pet treats manufactured by Pet Carousel because the products may be contaminated with Salmonella.
The products were distributed nationwide in both bulk and retail packaging for sale in pet food and retail chain stores. Pet Carousel is based in Sanger, Calif.
So my question is - has your dog ever been ill with salmonella and was the origin of the pathogen traced back to anything in particular?
Or have you personally ever had it? what from?
