1. A salmonella warning has been issued across the nation for Dog Gone Dog Treats after an open bag and several unopened bags all tested positive for ssalmonella last week at the Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory. the 3 reported cases of salmonella illness included two adults in their 70s and a child who handled the contaminated treats. Dogs can also get sick from the potentially deadly salmonella bacteria. The Department of Health has ordered all stores to remove all products from their shelves. People can spread illness to others through anything they touch after coming in contact with the bacteria. Those concerned that their dogs may have become ill after eating the treats should consult their veterinarians. The Massachusetts Department of Health is urging consumers who have any “Dog Gone Dog Treats” in their possession to dispose of them immediately.
