Approximately 65,077 units of various Loving Pets and Whole Hearted dog treats are being recalled because raw materials used to manufacture them tested positive for Salmonella. The affected products include Barksters, Puffsters, and Whole Hearted brands in multiple flavors like Sweet Potato, Brown Rice, Apple, Banana, and Cranberry. These treats were distributed nationwide through retailers and distributors to pet stores between 2017 and 2019. Consumers should immediately stop feeding these treats to their pets and return any remaining product for a full refund.
Salmonella can cause serious illness in pets and can also be transmitted to humans who handle the contaminated treats. Symptoms in pets include lethargy, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting, while infected humans may experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and fever.
Full refund available at the place of purchase.
