FDA announces dog food recall due to elevated vitamin D

The FDA is alerting pet owners about a voluntary recall of certain Hill’s Pet Nutrition canned dog food.

The recall comes after a complaint in the U.S. in which a dog exhibited symptoms of elevated vitamin D.

Further investigation showed that a supplier error caused the high level of vitamin D in the food. 

Symptoms of elevated levels of vitamin D can include vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss.

The recall includes the following products:

The dog food was distributed in pet stores and vet clinics around the U.S.

When vitamin D is consumed at high levels it could possibly cause renal failure.

Any pet owners that recognize these symptoms should contact their vet immediately.

For further information, please contact Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc. at 1-800-445-5777 Monday-Friday during the hours of 9am-5pm (CST) or at [email protected].
