Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc. has voluntarily recalled 33 different varieties of canned dog food, including several Prescription Diet and Science Diet formulas, due to potentially toxic levels of vitamin D. The issue was discovered after a consumer complaint regarding a dog exhibiting symptoms of vitamin D toxicity. The recalled canned products were sold nationwide through retail pet food stores and veterinary clinics between September 2018 and May 2019. Consumers should check their pantries for specific can sizes and lot codes to ensure their pets do not consume the affected food. Hill's is providing refunds for all recalled items.
Elevated levels of vitamin D can cause serious health issues in dogs, ranging from vomiting, loss of appetite, and increased thirst/urination to severe kidney failure and death. The excess vitamin D in these products resulted from a supplier error during the formulation of a vitamin premix.
