Salmonella poses significant health risks to both pets and humans. Pets consuming contaminated food may exhibit symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea (which may be bloody), vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected pets can also act as carriers, potentially transmitting the bacteria to humans through waste or contact with contaminated surfaces.
