- Authority: UK FSA
- Country: United Kingdom
- Announced: 2019-03-22
- Company: Hill’s Pet Nutrition Ltd
- Product: Hill’s Pet Nutrition extends recall of selected canned dog food
- Reason: High levels of vitamin D fed to a pet over a short period (weeks/months) should not cause concern. Over a longer period of feeding, ingestion of elevated levels can lead to potential health issues depending on the level of vitamin D and the length of exposure, and dogs 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.
