FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - South Florida dog owners should be aware of a pet treat recall from earlier this week.

On Monday, the Natural Dog Company of Windsor, Colorado issued a recall for their 12oz bags of 12" Tremenda Sticks pet chews due to a potential presence of salmonella. The recall affects Florida and nine other states.

The recalled 12oz bag does not have a lot number or expiration date printed on it and has the UPC number: 851265004957. Products with new packaging, which includes both a lot number and expiration date but the same UPC are not affected by the recall.

Pets with salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

The treats can also be a risk for humans if they don't wash their hands after handling them.

According to the FDA, no illnesses in pets or humans have been reported so far.
