Two major companies involved in this recall are Foodynamics and Raw Bistro Pet Fare, which are withdrawing specific products from the market to ensure pet safety.

Details of the Recall

Salmonella can lead to serious health issues in pets. Symptoms may include lethargy, diarrhea (potentially bloody), fever, and vomiting. Some pets might show only mild signs, such as decreased appetite or abdominal pain. It’s crucial for pet owners to monitor their animals and contact a veterinarian if any symptoms arise.
