Hill’s Pet Nutrition has expanded its recall of canned dog food because of the presence of elevated levels of Vitamin D. Pet owners who purchased any of the recalled products should discontinue feeding them to their pets, and should dispose of the products immediately.
The expanded recall, which includes additional products as well as additional Date/Lot codes of products that were reported in the Jan. 21 recall notice, was announced on the Hill’s US and Canadian websites on March 20.
No dry foods, cat foods or treats are affected by this recall.
All of the recalled products share the same vitamin premix that led to the first recall.
Depending on the level of vitamin D and the length of exposure, dogs that have ingested excessive vitamin D 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 ingestion can lead to serious conditions, including kidney dysfunction. In most cases, the symptoms are reversible and complete recovery occurs after discontinuation of feeding.
