Salmonella surveillance in raw pet food and dogs in Great Britain, 2013–2022

Despite limitations for establishing direct transmission pathways, the findings highlight raw meat pet food as a potential vector for <i>Salmonella</i> transmission, emphasizing the risks to both animal and public health and underlining the need for vigilant monitoring and hygiene practices. For antimicrobial resistance risk, generally high susceptibility to the extended spectrum cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone classes is reassuring, although the detection of multi-drug-resistant strains highlights ongoing concerns.
