Following the discovery of potentially elevated levels of vitamin D, Nestle Purina PetCare announced a recall of certain types of dog food. Nestle’s<\/span> Purina, according to the Food and Drug Administration’s website, is recalling prescription dog food after receiving “two contacts about two separate confirmed cases of dog<\/span> exhibiting signs of vitamin D toxicity after consuming the diet, to date.” The dogs have recovered after they were removed from the food, it said.<\/p>\n

Which Items?<\/h3>\n

A notice on the product’s availability stated that it could only be purchased by prescription in the United States. It covers the 8-pound and 20-pound bags. The recall applies to the Purina<\/span> Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental in 8-pound and 20-pound bags. The recalled items have UPC Codes of 38100 19190 (8-pound bag) or 38100 19192 (20-pound bag); and they have production codes matching any of the following: 2249 1082; 2250 1082; 2276 1082; 2277 1082; 2290 1082; 2360 1082; 2361, and 1082.<\/p>\n

Affected products should also be removed or destroyed by veterinary offices and retailers.<\/p>\n

What To Look For?<\/h3>\n

Too much Vitamin D toxicity may lead to vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, and excessive drooling to renal (kidney) dysfunction.<\/p>\n

The FDA-backed notice said.<\/p>\n

\n

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs; however, ingestion of elevated levels can lead to health issues depending on the level of vitamin D and the length of exposure [1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For information about obtaining a refund or if one has questions or concerns, Purina says consumers can contact the company at 1-800-345-5678 or through email<\/a>.<\/p>\n
