(NewsNation) — A pet food company is recalling multiple lots of dog treats due to concerns they could be contaminated with salmonella.
Best Buy Bones, Inc. of Mount Morris, Michigan, is recalling four lots of Nature’s Own Pet Chews Bully Bites 1-pound treats in 16 oz. bags with a shared expiration date of September 2027.
The Food and Drug Administration issued the recall after it tested samples of the product, which were found to be contaminated with salmonella.
Nature’s Own Pet Chews brand Bully Bites, UPC# 739598900750, are sold in a 16-ounce, resealable plastic pouch 11 inches tall, 9.5 inches wide, 3.5 inches deep on the bottom. The best buy date is located on a tag on the bottom of the pouch.
A total of 34 bags were distributed out of Minnesota and sold through retail stores in Wisconsin.
“Consumers who purchased 16 oz. bags of Nature’s Own Pet Chews Bully Bites after September 23, 2025, are urged to return to the place of purchase or destroy the food in a way that children, pets, and wildlife cannot access it,” Best Buy Bones wrote.
“Do not sell or donate the recalled products. Do not feed the recalled product to pets or any other animals.”
No illnesses in dogs have been reported so far.
Animals with salmonella infections may be lethargic and have bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Some will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain.
There is also a risk to humans who handle the contaminated treats, especially if they don’t thoroughly wash their hands after coming into contact with the products or surfaces exposed to the items.
