Why Was The Food Recalled?
Midwestern Pet Foods recalled the numerous lots of food due to potential salmonella contamination. Salmonella poisoning can be spread to other animals and humans and can cause acute illness in both.
Where Was The Affected Food Sold?
The affected product lots were distributed to both online stores and retail stores nationwide.
What Do I Do With The Remaining Food? Should I Be Worried About Myself or My Pet?
If your pet has been eating the recalled Midwestern Pet Food products, discontinue use immediately. Due to potential adverse reactions in animals of any size, if you have been feeding your pet the potentially contaminated product, contact your veterinarian to ensure they know the situation. Then return the food to the original purchase location for a full refund. Proceed with sanitizing any food scoops, bowls, feeding toys, or storage containers that may have contained the food at one time.
What Do I Need To Know About Salmonella Poisoning?
Salmonella poisoning in animals comes with various symptoms such as lethargy with fever, diarrhea occasionally accompanied by blood, and vomiting. Other less noticeable side effects can include appetite loss, abdominal pain, and fever.
If your animal has become infected but appears to be otherwise healthy, they can still be carriers of Salmonella. That means they can potentially infect other animals and humans they are around. If you know your pet has consumed the recalled product or is currently experiencing any of these symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.

80% of Dogs Develop Arthritis or Joint Pain by 7 Years old – Here’s How to Protect Them
Most of us train our dogs when they are puppies to jump up on furniture. We think it’s harmless (and easier than always lifting them), but for dogs, couches and beds are very high compared to the size of their bodies.
Every time they jump it compresses their back and applies enormous force to their joints.
It’s no wonder that an incredible 80% of dogs experience arthritis or joint pain by only 7 years old.
Luckily, there is a vet-recommended solution.
It’s the PawRamp by Alpha Paw. An adjustable ramp that allows dogs to safely get on and off couches and beds. PawRamp makes joining you in bed or on the couch effortless and fun.
As a bonus, you can use code SAVE35 to get $35 off the PawRamp today.
