What do you feed your pet? The Food and Drug Administration is warning cat and dog owners to avoid feeding their pets a type of raw food which contains a serious health risk. They have recalled specific foods from Viva Raw LLC because it contains listeria, which poses a health risk, not only to the pets, but the owners who come in contact with it. The products affected are Viva ground turkey for dogs, Viva canned turkey for dogs, Viva turkey for cats, Viva pure turkey and Viva beef and turkey for puppies.
Listeria can cause serious and even fatal infections in pets who eat contaminate food products. People can be exposed to the listeria through touching the contaminated food, coming into contact with pets who have eaten the recalled food and surfaces which have been in contact with the listeria-laden food. If you have any, destroy it in a manner children, pets and wildlife cannot access it.
