Barf Blog has a post about an elderly Georgian dog (Ozzie) being one of the salmonella outbreak's casualties. While the owner believes the bacteria was passed from peanut butter crackers meant for humans, plenty of doggie treats use peanut butter as an ingredient. The FDA says throw this dog food away. "Product recalls now include some pet food products that contain peanut

paste that was made by [Peanut Corporation of America] PCA. While the risk of animals contracting

salmonellosis is minimal, there is risk to humans from handling these

products."

Kansas City-based Three Dog Bakery says the recall does not apply to them. The company uses peanut butter in a variety of its products, from special dog cakes to peanut woofers and peanut butter biscuits. It has posted a notice about the recall.

At Three Dog Bakery, we are aware of the Peanut Butter recall with Peanut Corporation of America and King Nut Company.

We want to assure you that Three Dog Bakery is not involved in this outbreak or recall.

We do not purchase any Peanut Butter from PCA or King Nut Company.... For more information, please feel free to direct any and all related questions to 1-800-474-DOGS

For a complete list of dog and human peanut butter items that are not included in the recall, visit this helpful page provided by the American Peanut Council.
