Dog Food Recall: Nutrisca, Natural Life Pet Products: FDA

Two different brands of dog food have been recalled because pet owners complained of Vitamin D Toxicity in their dogs after eating the products, the US Food and Drug Administration announced Friday. An investigation revealed a formulation error led to the elevated Vitamin D in the product.

According to the FDA, "Dogs ingesting elevated levels of Vitamin D may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. Vitamin D when consumed at very high levels can lead to serious health issues in dogs including renal dysfunction. Consumers with dogs who have consumed the product listed above and are exhibiting these symptoms, should contact their veterinarian."
