# Major Recall Alert: Dog Biscuits Recalled Due to Potential to Be Contaminated with Salmonella
Pet owners, take note—a significant recall has been issued that may impact the safety of your furry companions. **Consumers Supply Distributing, LLC** is recalling two specific dog biscuit products due to the potential contamination with **Salmonella**, a harmful bacteria that can cause serious health issues in both pets and humans. If you’ve purchased Country Vet Biscuits or Heartland Harvest Dog Biscuits, read on for vital details about this recall and how you can protect your household.
## Why This Recall is Important
Salmonella contamination poses serious risks for pets and humans alike. **Dogs consuming contaminated food can experience symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, fever, and decreased appetite.** Even if pets don’t show symptoms, they may still carry the bacteria and infect other pets or humans.
For humans, the risk arises when handling contaminated pet food or any surfaces exposed to it, especially if hands are not washed thoroughly afterward. **Symptoms of Salmonella infection in humans include:**
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea (which could be bloody)
- Abdominal cramping
- Fever
In severe cases, Salmonella can lead to more critical health issues like arterial infections, arthritis, and even endocarditis. Understanding the source of this contamination and taking action promptly is crucial to ensuring the safety of your pets and household.
