Symptoms of Salmonella infection in both dogs and humans include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and lethargy. Although many healthy people and pets recover within a few days without treatment, you should contact your veterinarian/doctor if you think your dog or a household member has salmonellosis.

If you suspect that your furry friend or anyone in your household may have Salmonella infection, it’s important that you contact your doctor/veterinarian straight away and go to the closest emergency room.

Although Healthy Spot does not carry Freshpet, we recommend that you throw the food away if you have purchased any of the affected products. To discard, secure the contaminated food in a container and throw it away where no other animals can get to it. It is also important that all areas that have come into contact with contaminated products are thoroughly sanitized, including the freezer or fridge where the food was stored.

If you have additional questions about the recall, please visit Dog Food Advisor or the FDA's website.
