Summary

Natural Dog Company, Inc. is recalling approximately 560 bags of its 12-inch Tremenda Sticks dog treats because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recall affects 12-ounce resealable plastic bags that do not have a lot number printed on the packaging. These treats were distributed to retail stores in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, and Washington. Consumers should immediately stop using these treats and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella can cause serious illness in pets who eat the treats and in humans who handle the contaminated products, especially if they do not thoroughly wash their hands. Symptoms of infection include fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping, which can be particularly severe for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for 'The Natural Dog Company 12-inch Tremenda Sticks' in 12-ounce resealable plastic bags.

  3. Stop feeding these treats to your pets immediately and keep them out of reach of children and other animals.
  4. Return the affected treats to the retail store where you purchased them to receive a full refund.
  5. Thoroughly wash your hands and sanitize any surfaces or containers that may have come into contact with the recalled treats.
