Salmonella outbreaks in Alberta, B.C. linked to dog food and treats
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency reports 27 confirmed cases of Salmonella Oranienburg linked to dog food, with six hospitalizations and ongoing investigation into the source.
- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency reported 27 laboratory-confirmed Salmonella Oranienburg cases linked to dog food and treats in Canada between mid-February and mid-August 2025.
- The outbreak mainly affected Alberta and British Columbia with 13 and 12 cases respectively, but no specific contaminated product or supplier has been identified, and the investigation is ongoing.
- Among those infected—59% of whom are female and ranging in age from 0 to 87—many had come into contact with dog food products such as kibble and dehydrated or freeze-dried treats before falling ill, and dogs can transmit Salmonella even when they show no symptoms.
- Six hospitalizations occurred, symptoms usually begin within six to 72 hours including fever, nausea, diarrhea, and headache, while no deaths have been reported so far according to PHAC.
- Public health officials recommend thoroughly cleaning hands after handling dogs or their food and treats to lower the chance of infection, and caution that additional cases might still be identified.
