According to the press release issued by Bravo Pet Foods, Bravo Balance Chicken Dinner for dogs – Patties, Bravo Balance Chicken Dinner for dogs – Chub, and Bravo Blend Chicken diet for dogs & cats – Patties did not test positive for Salmonella but were also voluntarily recalled “out of an abundance of caution because they were manufactured in the same manufacturing facility on the same day as the product that tested positive.”
If you or your pet had contact with the recalled product, you are advised to watch for symptoms that may develop. Common symptoms associated with Salmonella poisoning include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. In some rare cases, Salmonella poisoning can result in more severe symptoms. Pets may also be infected without symptoms and may pass the infection to other pets or humans in the household. If you, your pet, or a family member is experiencing these symptoms, or if you suspect infection, you are urged to contact an appropriate medical professional.
Anyone who has purchased recalled Bravo Pet Foods product(s) is urged to dispose of the product(s) in a safe manner (e.g., a securely covered trash receptacle). Pet owners can then return to the store where they purchased the product(s) and submit a Bravo Recall Claim Form for a full refund or store credit.
