(March 20, 9:50) -- Hill's Pet Nutrition is expanding its voluntary recall of certain of its cannded dog food products [company release text] due to elevated levels of vitamin D." The company says its expanded recall "was caused by the same vitamin premix received from a U.S. supplier that was the source of the January 31, 2019, recall (previously reported by LBREPORT.com) and is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration."

In a release, Hill's Pet Nutrition states: While vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs, ingestion of elevated levels can lead to potential health issues depending on the level of vitamin D and the length of exposure, and dogs may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. When consumed at very high levels, vitamin D can in rare cases lead to potentially life threatening health issues in dogs, including renal dysfunction. Pet parents with dogs who have consumed any of the products listed and are exhibiting any of these signs should contact their veterinarian. In most cases, complete recovery is expected after discontinuation of feeding. |
