Posted on May 14, 2021 • 3 min read • 629 words

I am so excited when we get to speak about the amazing and delicious (at least, in the opinion of the dogs) goodies that are on the market for you to give to your dog. Unfortunately, every once in a while something goes wrong, and a treat or maybe just a certain batch of a treat has to be recalled off the shelves. Because I believe it is essential for everyone to be aware of recalled items, I will also keep you updated on any and all dog treat recalls as they take place.

Recalled Product  

Certain Treat Me Crunchy Beef Delight treats have been voluntarily recalled by their manufacturer, TruPet, LLC, because to the possibility that they contain Salmonella. In response to the discovery of Salmonella in a retail package of these dog treats, the Michigan Department of Agriculture decided to issue this treat recall.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States, the Treat Me Crunchy Beef Delight treats with a lot number of 20190514 13753 are the ones that are being recalled. On the bag is where you will find the printed version of the lot number.

Where They Were Sold  

These Treat Me Crunchy Beef Delight treats come in packets that are 2.5 ounces and can be purchased on Chewy.com and TruDog.com respectively.

Salmonella  

Salmonella is a kind of bacterium that is often seen in the digestive tracts of many animals. When food is not handled correctly, it runs the risk of being contaminated with pathogens like Salmonella. Salmonella is often found in chicken, which is a classic example of this kind of food that is widely infected. If you touch contaminated food and then contact other objects with your hands, you risk spreading the germs that are on the food to those other things.

Salmonella bacteria  

Salmonella may make your dog ill. It is also possible for it to make you ill, and this is particularly true if you have not completely cleansed your hands after handling objects or surfaces that have been in contact with the infected snacks or other meals.

Symptoms  

If your dog has eaten any of the recalled dog treats, you need to keep an eye out for the following:

• lethargy
• diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
• fever
• vomiting
• decreased appetite
• abdominal pain

In the event that your dog has consumed the possibly contaminated treats and is displaying any of these symptoms, you should make an appointment with your pet’s veterinarian as soon as possible. It is possible that some animals who consume the infected treats may not show any symptoms, but they may still infect other animals or people. Because of this, it is important to keep a check on your dog’s companions, both furry and human.

If you have this particular lot number of Treat Me Crunchy Beef Delight snacks in your house, you need to watch not just yourself but also others around you for the following:

• nausea
• vomiting
• diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
• abdominal pain
• fever

Salmonella infections in humans may sometimes be so severe that they cause:

• arterial infections
• endocarditis
• arthritis
• muscle pain
• eye irritation
• urinary tract symptoms

If you have consumed any of these delicacies and are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, you should make an appointment with a medical professional as soon as possible.

What to Do  

These snacks with the lot number 20190514 13753 may be returned to the merchant from whence they were bought for a full refund if the purchaser can provide proof that they purchased the treats.

If you have any questions you may contact TruPet at 1-800-476-8808.
