Your Dog’s Favorite Treat Just Got Recalled
If you bought dog biscuits recently, read this immediately. Two popular brands sold across seven states—including Texas—are being pulled from shelves due to dangerous Salmonella contamination that could make both your dog AND your family sick.
The Brands Every Austin Dog Owner Needs to Know
Consumers Supply Distributing just recalled Country Vet Biscuits and Heartland Harvest Dog Biscuits. Both are 4-pound bags with the lot code 40906513 and an expiration date of 09/06/2026.
This isn’t a small batch issue. These treats were sold in retail stores across Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Montana, and Nebraska.
Why This Recall Is Different (And Scarier)
Here’s what most people don’t realize: you don’t even need to feed these to your dog to get sick. Just touching the contaminated biscuits and forgetting to wash your hands thoroughly can expose you to Salmonella.
The FDA found the bacteria during routine testing. No illnesses reported yet—but that doesn’t mean your pup is safe.
Warning Signs Your Dog May Be Infected
Watch for these symptoms in the next few days:
- Lethargy or unusual tiredness
- Diarrhea (sometimes bloody)
- Vomiting or fever
- Loss of appetite with stomach pain
Critical fact: Even healthy-looking infected dogs can spread Salmonella to other pets and humans in your home.

The Hand-Washing Rule You’re Probably Breaking
After handling pet food, most people do a quick rinse. That’s not enough. Scrub with soap for at least 20 seconds—especially before eating or touching your face.
Your Dog Deserves Better
This recall proves that even “trusted” brands can harbor hidden dangers. Stay vigilant, check lot numbers, and never assume a product is safe just because it’s on the shelf.
Bottom line: Check your dog treat bags tonight. Your family’s health might depend on it.
