Pig Ear Treats For Dogs May Be Contaminated With Salmonella

CLEARWATER, FL — Some natural pig ear treats for dogs are being recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that all variations of Pig Ears for Dogs, made by Brutus & Barnaby of Clearwater, are being recalled for potential salmonella contamination. Salmonella can affect both animals eating the treats, as well as humans who handle them, especially if they do not wash their hands after handling contaminated treats.

The FDA says pets with salmonella may be lethargic and have diarrhea, which might be bloody, fever and vomiting. Some pets may experience a decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Any pets showing these symptoms who may have consumed the recalled treats should be taken to a vet as soon as possible.

Bags of the pig ear treats were sold nationwide via amazon.com, chewy.com,Brutusandbarnaby.com and at Natures Food Patch, 1225 Cleveland St., Clearwater, and 966 Douglas Ave., Dunedin.

The product was sold in four different sizes (8-count, 12-count, 25-count and 100-count).

Consumers who bought the treats should throw away any remaining treats and contact the place of purchase for a full refund. Those with questions should call Brutus & Barnaby at 1-800-489-0970.
