May 5, 14 People Ill from Dog Food Salmonella

Sat, 05 May 2012 17:47:54 GMT

Diamond Pet Food, with a processing plant in Gaston, South Carolina, has issued numerous recalls for their dog foods, between December 2011 and May 2012. In fact, the latest recall was issued yesterday, May 4, 2012. The recall included: Apex, Canidae, Natural Balance, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul, Kirkland, Diamond, Diamond Naturals, Premium Edge, 4Health, Professional and Taste of the Wild. The salmonella poisoning has not been linked to any sick dogs, but people handling their food have become ill. How can that be? While it’s true that the dog owners did not consume the dog food, they became ill because they did not wash their hands after handling the dog food. When they handled their own food or ate without washing their hands, they contracted the bacteria. If you suspect that you have dog food that was made between December and May, look on the bag for a phone number, and call to see if your dog food is one of the suspects. The company should be willing to reimburse you for the dog food.

Nov 15, Canine Flu Outbreak

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:06:27 GMT

Veterinarians are warning dog owners that canine flu has become an issue in the Northeast, particularly in the New York City area. First discovered in Florida in 2005, the dog flu is very contagious and causes coughing, a runny nose and a fever. It is not fatal. Because the flu is a virus, there is no treatment for it, but veterinarians often give a dog antibiotics to cure any secondary infections that may have developed. Dogs in shelters and kennels and dogs that come into contact with other dogs are most likely to get the flu. People cannot get it from their dogs.
