A recall has been issued for raw pet food sold online nationwide due to salmonella concerns, which can be dangerous to both pets and humans who come into contact with contaminated food. The recall affects several brands of raw pet food, which were sold online and may have been purchased by Buffalo residents.
Salmonella can cause serious health issues in pets, including diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
"Pet owners should be aware of the risks associated with raw pet food and take necessary precautions to protect their pets and themselves," a health official said.
The recall is particularly relevant for pet owners in the Allentown neighborhood, where many residents have pets and may be affected by the recall. The Buffalo Animal Shelter is also taking steps to inform pet owners about the recall and provide guidance on how to keep their pets safe.
South Buffalo homeowners with pets may need to check their pet food and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. Parents in the Kenmore district may also be affected, as they may have purchased the recalled pet food for their families' pets.
As the situation unfolds, Buffalo residents can expect to see more information about the recall and how to protect their pets. A meeting with local health officials is scheduled for next week to discuss the recall and provide guidance on how to keep pets safe.
The recall highlights the importance of pet owners being aware of the risks associated with raw pet food and taking necessary precautions to protect their pets and themselves. Buffalo residents can take steps to ensure their pets' safety by checking their pet food and following proper handling and hygiene procedures.
