Several brands of pet food are under recall by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for possible salmonella contamination.
Foodynamics and Raw Bistro Pet Fare are recalling several products due to possible contamination.
Salmonella can affect animals eating contaminated products and may become lethargic, have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, or vomiting, according to the FDA.
Some pets may also experience only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected, yet healthy, pets can be carriers and transmit infection to other animals or humans.
If your pet has consumed the recalled product and shows these symptoms, contact your veterinarian, the FDA urges.

Risk to humans
Salmonella also poses a risk to humans from handling such products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after contact with the food or any surfaces exposed to it. Healthy people infected with salmonella should monitor for symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which may be bloody), abdominal cramping, and fever.
In rare cases, infection can lead to more serious conditions such as arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms, according to the FDA.
Consumers showing these signs after contact with the recalled product should seek medical advice.
If you have recalled items, do not feed it to pets or any other animals, and do not sell or donate the products.
Clean and sanitize pet food bowls, scoops, utensils, storage containers, and any surfaces that may have come into contact with the product. You should also wash hands thoroughly after handling pet food or any surfaces exposed to the food.
Consumers can return the product to the place of purchase for a refund.
