Attention, New York pet parents—there’s an important recall you need to know about, especially if you have cats.

A popular pet food is under scrutiny, and it could be dangerous for both kitties and humans.

Nearly 1,500 pounds food is being recalled over Salmonella concerns. The contamination was discovered after a complaint of a sick pet led to testing, with the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) confirming the results.

Salmonella can make pets sick with symptoms like lethargy, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), vomiting, fever, or abdominal pain.

Even pets that seem healthy can spread it to others, including humans. If your furry friend shows any of these symptoms, contact your vet right away.
