Pets with Salmonella
infections may have decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If
left untreated, pets may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody
diarrhea, fever and vomiting. 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.

especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having
contact with surfaces exposed to this product. Healthy people infected
with salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the
following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea,
abdominal cramping and fever. According to the Centers for Disease
Control, people who are more likely to be affected by Salmonella include infants, children younger than 5 years
old, organ transplant patients, people with HIV/AIDS and people
receiving treatment for cancer.

Recent numbers show that 63% of US households own a pet - that's 71.1 million homes and families with dogs, cats, iguanas, parakeets, fish, ferrets, potbellied pigs, etc, etc., Taking care of a pet is tougher than taking care of an infant, since our pets can't speak. Hence, making sure your pet is safe and happy when you leave it alone at home should be a priority for all pet owners. One of the simplest ways of watching over a pet remotely is by using some sort of webcam software like GotoCamera that is easily available online these days.
