Urgent Recall Issued for Popular Puppy Food Over Serious Health Risks
As pet parents, it's important to remain vigilant about the food we feed our pets and ensure they eat healthy, well-balanced meals. But it's also important to keep track of pet food recalls and ensure the food we give our pets won't harm them.
Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Revival Animal Health issued an urgent recall of their canine milk replacers on April 17.
In the recall statement put out by the company and shared by the FDA, the brand is specifically recalling "Breeder's Edge® Foster Care® Canine and Shelter's Choice® Canine Milk Replacers due to variable levels of Vitamin D resulting in both low and elevated levels in some of the canine milk replacers."
According to the statement, "recalled products were sold nationwide through online and in retail pet stores." The FDA also confirmed that "the recall was initiated after an investigation determined that the product had variable levels of Vitamin D, resulting in both low and elevated levels in some of the canine milk replacers."
What is Vitamin D poisoning?
Elevated Vitamin D levels in dogs can cause a plethora of health issues and symptoms, "including vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss," according to the FDA.
The VCA animal hospital also confirmed that Vitamin D poisoning in dogs can also cause more severe side effects in pets, including "difficulty breathing, bleeding in the intestines, slow heart rate, abnormal heart rhythms, mineralization of body tissues, and even kidney failure.
