While most of the food recalls we’ve been hearing about lately involve food meant for humans, today’s news concerns what might be in your dog’s or cat’s food bowl. Three pet food companies have recently announced recalls on their products. Here’s everything to know about the pet food recall and which products are affected.

Can Salmonella in Pet Food Also Affect Humans?
It’s scary enough that your pet might get sick from this recalled food, but it’s possible that you could, too. Wash your hands thoroughly if you’ve handled your pet’s food, since bacteria can travel.
What Should I Do If I Purchased the Recalled Pet Food?
All FDA recalls urge you to either destroy the food or return it to where you purchased it for a refund. I’d go with the refund option, personally.
What Should I Do If I Fed My Pet Some of the Affected Food?
If you’re worried your pet ate something it shouldn’t have, take it to the vet, for sure. A vet charge is never fun, but if it ends up saving your pet’s life, it’s hard to put a price tag on.
