Pet Food Safety News

Do you wash your hands before and after you feed your pet?  I bet the answer is sometimes.  As careful as we are, we sometimes forget that these rules apply to our furry friends too.

Remember that it is important to wash your hands before and after feeding your pet, just as you would before your own dinner.  Pets can be exposed to salmonella and bacteria from foods you might have previously handled, like raw chicken or fruits and veggies with pesticides.

And it should go without saying, but please, wash your hands after you act as a human pooper scooper.
