FDA Alerts Pet Owners about Potentially Toxic Levels of Vitamin D in Several Dry Pet Foods

FDA Pet Food Alert: Vitamin D Toxicity: Toxic levels of Vitamin D have been found in several brands of dry pet food. These brands are being recalled and the list of tainted pet foods is rapidly growing. The problem is that excess levels of Vitamin D-70% above normal levels has been detected in these pet foods. Excess Vitamin D can lead to kidney failure and potentially Lymphoma cancer.

Pet owners are encouraged to check their pets food and immediately stop feeding all of these dry pet foods. Signs of Vitamin D toxicity mimic those of kidney disease and include increased thirst and urination, vomiting with or without diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite.

Pet owners who suspect that their pet may be suffering should contact their veterinarian immediately.
