Pet Supplements Sold on Chewy, Amazon Recalled: See Affected Products

A pet company is recalling two lots of dog supplements that may be contaminated with salmonella, a bacteria that can make pets and people sick.

Fi issued a voluntary recall for two dietary supplements after a Sept. 8 notice from the Food and Drug Administration. No illnesses have been reported, and the investigation is ongoing.

People can become infected through contact with contaminated supplements or surfaces they touched. Adults 65 and older and people with weakened immune systems face a higher risk of severe illness.

Salmonella Symptoms in People and Pets

In people, symptoms may include:

• Bloody diarrhea or diarrhea lasting more than three days
• Diarrhea with a fever above 102 degrees Fahrenheit
• Severe vomiting that prevents keeping liquids down
• Dehydration, including dry mouth, infrequent urination or dizziness when standing
• Stomach cramps

Symptoms commonly appear six hours to six days after exposure. Most people recover in four to seven days, but severe symptoms may require medical treatment or hospitalization.

Infected pets may carry salmonella even when they appear healthy. Contact a veterinarian if your dog consumed either recalled product, even if it shows no symptoms. Warning signs include lethargy, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite and abdominal pain.
