“D” might be for “dog,” but too much Vitamin D can cause dog’s kidneys to stop working as they should. The possibility of too much Vitamin D got five brands of dog food from three different manufacturers recalled this week.
Each company-written, FDA-posted recall notice advised dog owners to stop feeding their pooches this particular food. Most can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
“Dogs ingesting elevated levels of Vitamin D may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss,” one notice explained. “Vitamin D, when consumed at very high levels can lead to serious health issues in dogs including renal dysfunction.”
In layman’s terms, “renal dysfunction” translates to “kidney snafu.”
