    • Dogs and cats that become ill from Salmonella infection generally will have diarrhea that may contain blood or mucus. Affected animals may seem more tired than usual, and may have a fever or vomit.
    • Some cats do not have diarrhea, but will have a decreased appetite, fever, and excess salivation.
    • Some dogs or cats may have Salmonella infection but may not appear to be sick.

    If your dog or cat has these signs of illness or you are concerned that your pet may have Salmonellainfection, please contact your pet's veterinarian. Let your veterinarian know if your pet recently consumed a recalled product. Do not feed your pet any more of the recalled products. Dispose of the products immediately.

    They do make Nutrisource, but they were contracted to manufacture Nutrisca at their plant for Dogswell.

    So wouldn't it be a possibility for the brands they manufacture to become contaminated?

    It's possible, but unlikely. They have 2 huge plants in Minnesota and each food is processed in a different area, much like drug manufacturing.

    I called the company because Toby is currently eating Nutrisource and does very well on it.

    The representative assured me that Nutrisource brand was NOT affected at all.
