Nylabone Recalls Puppy Starter Kit due to Salmonella

Nylabone Products has recalled one lot of their 1.69oz Puppy Starter Kit dog chews. The chews have potential Salmonella contamination. The potentially affected product is from Lot #21935, UPC 0-18214-81291-3, expiry 3/22/18. The Puppy Starter Kits were sold in Canada through an online mail order facility. Any consumers that have the potentially contaminated product should discontinue use and return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. Anyone with questions may call 1-877-273-7527.

Salmonella poses a risk to animals and humans. People infected by Salmonella may have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. The FDA recommends that purchasers of the 1.69oz Puppy Starter Kit dog chews with symptoms should contact their healthcare providers.

Animals with Salmonella infection may have diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and lethargy. Some pets will only experience decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Pets that are healthy in appearance may be carriers of Salmonella and can pass it on to other people and animals. According to the FDA, any animal that has consumed the potentially affected product should contact their veterinarian.
