The risk, for dogs and for people
Dogs with Salmonella can show lethargy, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite and abdominal pain. Some dogs carry and shed the bacteria without ever looking sick, which is part of why contaminated pet products are treated as a household risk, not just an animal one. People who handle a contaminated product, especially without washing their hands afterward, can develop nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), cramping and fever. In rare cases, the infection spreads beyond the gut and causes arterial infections or arthritis.
What to do if you have it
Fi is telling owners to stop giving the product immediately, seal the container, and put it in household trash rather than recycling. The company can be reached at 1-888-434-3647 (10 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, seven days a week) or support@tryfi.com. Adverse reactions can also be reported directly to the FDA using Form FDA 1932a.
