Vitamin D, when consumed at very high levels, can lead to serious health issues in dogs including renal dysfunction.

### Why was it recalled?

High levels of vitamin D fed to a pet over a short period (weeks/months) should not cause undue concern.

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.
