Ticks feed on pets AND people. And some ticks can transmit disease-causing agents like the ones that cause Lyme disease. ONE HEALTH is the idea that multiple groups can work together to better protect the health of humans and animals, and the environment they share. Your veterinary team is the best resource if you have questions about ticks and Lyme disease and your pet. Ask your family doctor if you have questions about ticks, Lyme disease and your health.

Please be aware! (Notice is due to children being affected)
From the notice:

"Why you should take note
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 outbreak of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Salmonella infections in six provinces.

Many of the individuals who became sick are children 5 years of age or younger. Illnesses associated with this outbreak strain may be difficult to treat with commonly recommended antibiotics, if antibiotic treatment is needed.

The outbreak is ongoing, as recent illnesses continue to be reported to PHAC.

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."

An outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to an outbreak in the United States is under investigation.
