It’s a word that can cause anything from concern to panic in dog parents. This is understandable. Salmonella is, after all, a pathogenic bacteria that causes hundreds of human deaths each year in the U.S.
But how worried should we be about dog food and Salmonella?
It's always good to be armed with
some facts, so we’ve put together this article: The Truth About Salmonella and Dog Food
It answers common questions and discusses key topics, such as…
- How worried should I be about Salmonella in dog food?

I hope this information will help you reach the right level of concern. I’m not going to tell you what that is, because it’s different for everyone, but you shouldn't panic and nor should you be dismissive. There's a sensible and comfortable level somewhere between those two.
Here’s
wishing you a wonderful week.
