Which Hill’s Pet Nutrition products are recalled?
Prescription Diet Canine i/d; Prescription Diet Canine w/d; Prescription Diet Canine z/d; Science Plan Canine Advance Adult Fitness Chicken; Science Plan Canine Mature Adult Active Longevity Chicken, sold under Hill’s Pet Nutrition. Lot or batch codes: 102020T18, 102020T05, 102020T14, 102020T27, 102020T17. Best before: October 2020.
Why was it recalled?
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.
What should I do if I have it?
Stop feeding it and keep it away from pets and children. Keep the packaging and the receipt. If your pet has eaten it and seems unwell, call your vet. Most shops refund or replace recalled pet food.
Is this recall still active?
Yes. UK FSA still lists it (checked 27 October 2026).
