How likely is it for dogs to get salmonella?
Salmonellosis is uncommon in dogs and cats, but they can be carriers of the bacteria. This means that even if the pets don't show symptoms of salmonellosis, they can still shed Salmonella in their stool and saliva and then spread the bacteria to the home environment and to people and other pets in the household.
Are dogs vulnerable to salmonella?
Salmonella infection in dogs is uncommon, as most dogs' immune systems are strong enough to fight the bacteria off, and their digestive systems are mostly able to handle passing it. Dogs with weaker immune systems are at greater risk for infection.
What happens if a dog gets salmonella?
Dogs and cats that become ill from Salmonella infection generally will have diarrhea that may contain blood or mucus. Affected animals may seem more tired than usual, and may have a fever or vomit. Some cats do not have diarrhea, but will have a decreased appetite, fever, and excess salivation.
Why do dogs not get salmonella?
