Share
United Pet Group, Cincinnati, Ohio is
voluntarily expanding its recent recall of its Pro-Pet Adult Daily
Vitamin Supplement tablets for Dogs to include additional pet
nutritional supplement products for dogs and cats due to possible Salmonella contamination, according to the FDA website. A long list follows at the end of this story.
The recalled products are sold nationally at various
retailers. The products include various United Pet Group Pro-Pet and
Excel branded products for dogs and cats, and certain other private
label brands of the same products. All of the affected products are in
tablet and powdered form. These products are being removed from retail
stores and consumers should immediately stop feeding these supplements
to their pets. The affected products are those with expiration dates
that include and are between 01/2013 and 06/2013. Products with
expiration dates earlier than 01/2013 or later than 06/2013 are not
included in this recall. The expiration date can be found imprinted
vertically on the right side of the product label.
Laboratory testing has revealed that some lots of some of these products may be contaminated with Salmonnella.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be
lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting.
Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain.
Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other
animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and
has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
People who handle these products can become infected with Salmonella,
especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having
contact with them or any surfaces exposed to these products.
Consumers who have purchased the affected products are
urged to contact United Pet Group or the place of purchase for further
direction. Consumers may contact United Pet Group at 1-877-399-5226,
Monday through Friday, from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm EST.
