Nestle Purina PetCare Co is recalling approximately 3,996 bags of its Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental prescription dry dog food because the product may contain elevated levels of vitamin D. The recall affects 8lb and 20lb bags sold through veterinary clinics and distributors. High vitamin D levels can cause serious health issues in dogs, including kidney failure, though no injuries have been reported to date.
Excessive vitamin D intake in dogs can lead to vitamin D toxicity, causing symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, and frequent urination. If left untreated, it can cause severe health complications including kidney failure and death.
