    abstract = {During the period December 2009-November 2010, 600 fecal samples were collected from 250 diarrheal and 250 non-diarrheal dogs, 50 diarrheal and 50 non-diarrhea cats. It was found that 11.6 and 13.2% of diarrheal and non-diarrheal dogs and 8.0 and 10.0% of diarrheal and non-diarrheal cats were infected with Salmonella, respectively. The five most common serovars in dogs were <I>S. stanley</I>, <I>S. rissen</I>, <I>S. enterica</I> ser 4, 5, 12 :i:-, <I>S. weltevreden</I> and <I>S. tryphimurium</I> (14.5, 12.9, 11.3, 11.3 and 9.7%, respectively). The five most common serovars in cats were <I>S. weltevreden</I>, <I>S. eastbourne</I>, <I>S. typhimurium</I>, <I>S. virchow</I> and <I>S. hvittingfoss</I> (44.4, 22.2, 11.1, 11.1 and 11.1%, respectively). Isolates from dogs were resistant to amoxicillin (43.5%), gentamicin (8.1%), nalidixic acid (9.7%), sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim (12.9%) and tetracycline (43.5%). The isolates from cats were resistant to amoxicillin (25%) and tetracycline (25%). Detection of <I>Salmonella </I>sp. in dogs and cats without clinical signs indicated that the animals were in carrier stage and potentially able to pass the disease to their owners.}
