Another dog food recall over dangerous levels of vitamin D
Hill’s Pet Nutrition is voluntarily recalling 25 select canned dog food products due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D — which could make your dog very sick.
In a release the Topeka, Kansas-based company said while vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs, ingesting too much of it can lead to potential health issues, including renal dysfunction.
“Hill’s Pet Nutrition learned of the potential for elevated vitamin D levels in some of our canned dog foods after receiving a complaint in the United States about a dog exhibiting signs of elevated vitamin D levels. Our investigation confirmed elevated levels of vitamin D due to a supplier error,” the company said.
Pet owners who purchased any of the products listed below with the specific lot/date codes are warned to discontinue feeding them to their pets and either dispose of it or return the unopened product to the place of purchase for a refund.
The recall comes two months after multiple dog food brands were recalled over the same concern.
In November, Sunshine Mills issued a voluntary recall for three of its brands due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D.
