The staff at Martindale Animal Clinic wanted to help keep our clients informed about a recent and rather important pet food recall. None of the foods recalled are what we carry here at Martindale Animal Clinic.
Diamond Pet Foods has voluntarily recalled some brands of dry dog and cat food that it manufactured in its Gaston, South Carolina facility between December 9, 2011 and April 7, 2012 due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recall includes dry and wet dog and cat food. There is also a risk to humans handling foods that are suspect.
Pets have been reported illness from the suspected contaminated foods. Please review the list of products under concern and contact us if you have any health concerns with your pet.

Salmonella in food can be very concerning for the health of us and our pets. Pets exposed to salmonella can have fevers, decrease appetite, lethargy and abdominal pains. Diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, vomiting and fevers can also be present. Even if symptoms are not present, pets can carry and transmit salmonella.
