Updated: January 28, 2024 5:12 PM
Viva Raw, a pet food company, has voluntarily recalled several of its duck products due to potential contamination with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products, which include Viva Duck for Dogs (Ground), Viva Duck for Dogs (Chunked), Viva Duck for Cats, and Viva Pure Duck, were... See More distributed between October 24 and December 6, 2023. There was 1 consumer complaint made to the FDA about this lot.

The recalled products are identifiable by their lot number, 22853, and are packaged as frozen 1 lb bricks in clear vacuum packaging. The products from this lot were shipped to 1,500+ customers, according to the company. The FDA discovered the contamination following a consumer complaint and subsequent testing of the Viva Duck for Dogs (Chunked) product from the aforementioned lot.

These bacteria can affect both animals consuming the products and humans who handle the contaminated pet products. Pets with Salmonella and Listeria infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans.

The company advises consumers to check their freezer for any remaining products of Lot 22853. In case there are remaining products, they can contact the company to request a refund.


In case you are experiencing Salmonella or Listeria monocytogenes symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is collaborating with provincial public health partners, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada to investigate an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Salmonella outbreak linked to raw pet food and contact with cattl . As of November 11, 2023 there are... See More 40 confirmed cases of XDR Salmonella illness in 6 provinces: Manitoba (1), Ontario (14), Quebec (21), New Brunswick (1), Nova Scotia (2), and Prince Edward Island (1). 13 individuals have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported. Individuals became sick between July 2020 and September 2023. This investigation is ongoing.

Based on the investigation findings to date, two sources have been identified:
- Exposure to raw meat prepared for pets (raw pet food) has been identified as a likely source for some of the illnesses reported in this outbreak. Some of the individuals who became sick reported exposure to raw pet food, or to dogs fed raw pet food, before their illnesses occurred. A single common supplier of raw pet food has not been identified.
- Contact with cattle, particularly calves, has also been identified as a likely source for some of the illnesses reported in the outbreak.

The outbreak was initially detected due to an increase in reports of extensively drug-resistant Salmonella illnesses across multiple jurisdictions in Canada. Laboratory methods identified that certain Salmonella cases traced back to 2020 shared the same strain with those reported in 2023.

The Salmonella strain in this outbreak is resistant to a broad range of antibiotics, making treatment particularly challenging if deemed necessary. It's crucial for individuals who suspect they have symptoms of Salmonella infection to contact their healthcare provider.

Salmonella bacteria can be found in raw pet food and in many species of animals, including dogs and cattle. Always use safe food handling practices when preparing, cooking, or storing raw pet food to prevent illness. Practice good hand hygiene and frequent handwashing after contact with dogs fed raw pet food, cattle, and their environments. The outbreak strain of Salmonella that made people sick has been found in raw pet food from the home of an ill individual. If contaminated, raw pet food can also make your pets sick. Infected pets can also spread bacteria, like Salmonella, to individuals they are in contact with, even if they do not show any signs of illness. This outbreak strain of Salmonella has also been found in sick dogs and cattle, and some of these animals have died

In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

The FDA is cautioning pet owners not to feed their pets certain lots of Darwin’s Natural Pet Products raw cat and dog food after product samples tested positive for Salmonella. These products are manufactured by Arrow Reliance Inc., doing business as Darwin’s Natural Pet Products, and are... See More sold online. To date, the firm has not recalled any of the affected product lots of product manufactured in 2023.

The affected products are:
- Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Chicken Recipe with Organic Vegetables for Dogs, Lot 9774, manufactured on Jun 13, 2023.
- Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Chicken Recipe for Cats, Lot 9795, manufactured on Jun 28, 2023.
- Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Chicken Recipe for Cats, Lot 9830, manufactured on Jul 19, 2023.
- Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Antibiotic & Grain-Free Chicken Recipe for Cats, Lot 9802, manufactured on Jul 7, 2023.

The products are in white and clear plastic packages. The dog food has blue labeling, and the cat food has blue and green labeling. Each package weighs two pounds and consists of four separate units. The lot codes are printed on the front of the lower left unit of the package.

Pet foods contaminated with Salmonella are of particular public health importance because they can affect both human and animal health. Pets can get sick from Salmonella and may also be carriers of the bacteria and pass it on to their human companions without appearing to be ill. People who think their pets have become ill after consuming contaminated pet food should first contact their veterinarians.

Because these products are sold and stored frozen, the FDA is concerned that people may still have them in their possession and feed them to their pets. If you have the affected products stop feeding them to your pets and throw them away in a secure container where other animals, including wildlife, cannot access them.

In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

I bought Dream Bone Treats for my dog and my sister's 2 dogs because they weren't made of rawhide so I thought they'd be safe for them. All 3 dogs loved them and always looked forward to them, after eating them for 4 months they ended up... See More getting sick with vomiting and loose stools. I told my sister it has to be the treats that's the only thing different that they've all eaten and we immediately stopped giving them to our dogs and thankfully the symptoms stopped. I have a hard time finding treats for them because they're so finiky, any suggestions as to other dog treats would greatly be appreciated. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting See Less

I have contacted Dream Bone several times and nobody will respond to me. My great pyranese and Yorkshire terrier both became deathly I’ll immediately after consuming dream bone rawhides. I auto order these from chewy and have never had a problem now both of my dogs who... See More differ from breed/size/weight are deathly Ill! I’m extremely angry over this after reading recent media reports about this product and the company will not respond to complaints or concerns. This is inexcusable behavior and this company needs to be held reliable. If my dogs don’t recover I’m going to every media outlet and then some to make sure other dogs are not harmed by this product. I’m going to get LOUD about this, these are our fur babies and this company’s silence is a huge F*** you to us!!!! See Less

Gave our 2 Shih Tzu’s Dreambones, both dogs were vomiting with bloody diarrhea. Had to take them to the vet multiple times. We bought Dreambones thinking it was a safe alternative to raw hides and come to find out they had poisoned our dogs. These need to come off the shelf!! | Symptoms: Vomiting, Bloody Stool See Less

Our little 10lb doggie loves these things. He’s a picky eater and doesn’t like too many treats but loves the DreamBones, as well as a few other no-hide rawhides. Well, we gave him one one night and he woke up at 2am shaking uncontrollably and couldn’t stand,... See More let alone walk. He vomited a little with a bit of diarrhea but was mainly just lethargic. We rushed him in at 8am as soon as the vet opened. She said it was the highest fever she’s ever seen in a dog and took all the tests and blood work. They couldn’t see anything, but put him on an IV for 5 hrs eventually sending us to an Emergency Vet Hospital vet 60 miles away, in Portland Oregon. Long story short….the ER vet told us they would have to cut him open in an emergency surgery for approx $8000 right then and there to see what was going on. They did all the tests that the first vet did, gave him blood, etc and could not tell anything until they got in there to see. We don’t have that money, as we had already spent $800 at the first vet and we were already into $800 with this one…and he was 13 1/2 at the time so I said no, we could not do it as we didn’t have the money. I explained to to my daughter and it was awful. They then said we need to put him down right then and there to put him out of his suffering. It was during Covid and we were waiting in the parking lot so I told the Dr we wanted to see him first. Of course we were all sobbing and in disbelief as he was so healthy. When we opened the door, he then just wanted in our arms. It was then that we told the Dr that if he was going to die, he would die at home, with us. They scolded us, told us we were doing the wrong thing, made us sign papers that they would not be held responsible, etc. Well, the next day he started recovering and 1 1/2 years later is still with us! We could only think that it must have been the DreamBone he had so we held off giving him anymore. About two weeks later and him begging and begging for one, we finally did it….gave him a small one and same thing….got deathly ill with a fever, lethargic and shaking uncontrollably. It was unreal. It lasted a few days and then fine. Again, about 6 mo after that, a family member gave him one and same thing! We know it’s from the DreamBones. They agreed with him for a few years and then, all of a sudden, could not handle them anymore. No treats for this guy:( See Less
