The Mass Department of Public Health has issued a recall of “Dog Gone Dog Treats”. Officials say there have been at least three cases of sickness because of Salmonella.
According to the latest health advisory...
"Dog Gone Dog Treats are made in Georgetown, include “chicken chips” and beef liver and sweet potato chips, and are sold at Essex County Co-Op in Topsfield, New England Dog Biscuit Company in Salem, Gimme Chews & Moore in Haverhill, and Animal Krackers in Gloucester. These treats are dehydrated and are not fully cooked."
Some of the best ways to stop the spread of salmonella are;
Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water right after handling pet food or treats or having contact with animal feces (stool), especially before preparing, serving, or eating foods or drinks, or before preparing baby bottles.
Store pet food and treats away from where human food is stored or prepared, and away from young children.
Children under 5 should not touch or eat pet food or treats.
Officials say you should throw out the treats. And, if you are concerned that your dog has salmonella- to call your vet.
