Popular Dog Treat Brand Issues Urgent Salmonella Recall — Do Not Feed Until You Check the Batch

Best Buy Bones, Inc. has issued an urgent recall of several lots of Nature’s Own Pet Chews Bully Bites after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed potential Salmonella contamination. The recall affects specific one-pound resealable bags distributed through retailers and online stores nationwide.

Pet owners across the U.S. are urged to check their pet-treat supplies immediately. According to the FDA, owners should not use the affected products and should follow return or disposal instructions to prevent risk to both pets and humans.

Why Salmonella Is Dangerous

Salmonella in pet treats is especially concerning because it can sicken both animals and humans. Infection can spread through direct contact with contaminated food, bowls, or household surfaces.

The FDA advises pet owners to:

• Immediately remove any recalled treats from your home.
• Clean and disinfect any surfaces or pet bowls that may have come into contact with the product.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after handling pet food or treats.

If your pet shows symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite after consuming these treats, contact your veterinarian right away.

What To Do Right Now

• Check packaging: Match UPC and lot numbers printed on your bag with those listed in the official recall notice.
• Stop use: Do not feed affected treats to your pets.
• Dispose of or return: Follow the manufacturer or retailer’s return instructions provided in the recall notice.
• Clean & monitor: Wash all bowls, counters, and your hands. Watch your pets for any signs of illness.

If you suspect your pet or a family member became sick after contact with the treats, contact your veterinarian or healthcare provider for further guidance.

Why This Matters

Salmonella outbreaks tied to pet products have been an increasing concern among public health agencies. Even when no illnesses are immediately reported, regulators act quickly to prevent larger outbreaks and protect both animal and human health.

For pet owners, staying informed and checking recall notices regularly can make a huge difference in preventing illness. A calm, factual response — including verifying batches and following cleaning precautions — helps ensure safety and builds trust with your audience.
