Pig's Ears and Salmonella


Just received a bulletin of another pigs ears recall due to Salmonella contamination. Pigs ears are a notorious source of salmonella infections in dogs as are raw meat diets. Since the raw diet craze there have been numerous reports of not only associated infections in dogs but reports of infections in humans who had contact with dogs who ate raw meat diets. Just a little "buyer beware".
