It’s not just the dogs that can get sick from contaminated pet treats like the Roll Over Pork Tenders Premium Dog Treat that was voluntarily recalled yesterday. With those manufactured bones, or strips or pigs’ ears, the salmonella can be transferred to human hands or food preparation surfaces (if you’re placing the treats on a counter or something).

Amy uses treats to train and reward (spoil) our dogs all the time, and when I told her a few months ago about the potential for salmonella or other shit to be on her hands afterwards, she seemed a little horrified.

Dude, wash your hands, especially after handling pet treats.

Don’t eat poop.

As noted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, there has been one illness reported associated with the Roll Over Pork Tenders Premium Dog Treat.

People may risk bacterial infection by handling the treats directly or by contact with pets who have used the treats. Anyone who may have handled the treats should wash their hands with warm water and soap. Consumers should dispose of these treats in the trash.
