Hill’s Science Canned Dog Food Voluntary Recall 1/30/19
Hill’s Science Diet issued a voluntary recall on their canned dog food for potentially elevated levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is necessary to maintain calcium and phosphorus levels in their bodies, which is essential for bone formation, along with heart, muscle, and nerve functions in dogs as well as humans. But when present in high levels, it can potentially become toxic and present symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, weight loss, and kidney disease.
Potentially high vitamin D has been identified as affecting the following products:
