So far, eight people have become sick with salmonella after handling the dog treats: five in British Columbia, two in Alberta, and one in Yukon.

The Public Health Agency is also reporting one death linked to the salmonella outbreak.

"Although products are no longer available for purchase in stores, they may still be in consumer homes," the agency said. "Given this, do not feed your dog any Paws Up! or Western Family brand pig ear dog treats."

People who experience symptoms such as fever, chills, diarrhea, or a headache should contact their health care provider if they suspect they have a Salmonella infection.
