Breeder’s Choice Pet Foods has announced a dog food recall over fears of salmonella contamination.

The product affected is its AvoDerm Natural Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Adult Dog Formula with the “Best Before” dates of 28 Aug 2013, 29 Aug 2013, 30 Aug 2013, which was distributed to retailers and distribution centers in California, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, Virginia and Washington.

People who have come into contact with the product should immediately discard it and stop handling it as salmonella poses a risk to both animals and humans. Common symptoms of salmonella in dogs include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, lethargy, fever and abdominal discomfort.

Dr. Neil Shaw, chief medical officer of BluePearl Veterinary Partners warned, “If your pet is experiencing vomiting, diarrhea or otherwise not acting right, contact your primary care veterinarian as soon as possible."
