Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

The Kroger Co. has voluntarily recalled approximately 360,752 pounds of Abound Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe dog food due to potentially elevated levels of Vitamin D. The recall affects three different bag sizes (4 lb, 14 lb, and 24 lb) sold in seven states with specific Best Buy dates between November 1, 2018, and November 16, 2019. While Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs, excessive amounts can lead to serious health issues or death. Consumers who purchased these products should return them to the retail location where they were bought for a full refund.

Risk

Ingesting elevated levels of Vitamin D can cause dogs to experience vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. In severe cases, high Vitamin D levels can lead to kidney failure and death.

  4. Stop feeding the affected product to your pet immediately.
  5. Return any unused portion of the recalled dog food to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact The Kroger Co. for further instructions.
