[Link] WARNING: FDA RECALLS 9 DOG FOOD BRANDS FOR VITAMIN D TOXICITY RISK

[rijesusfreak]

Recently, the FDA received numerous complaints about dogs suffering from vitamin D toxicity after consuming these dry dog foods. Further testing of dog food samples revealed dangerous and potentially lethal levels of vitamin D – in some cases, 70 times the normal amount. While vitamin D is beneficial for dogs in limited quantities, too much of it can be toxic, and can even result in kidney failure and death.

Symptoms of vitamin D poisoning include vomiting, appetite loss, increased thirst and/or urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. If your dog is displaying these symptoms, seek veterinary help immediately.

Anyone who has been feeding any of the recalled varieties of food to their dog(s) is urged to immediately discontinue their use of the product and consult a veterinarian. The FDA is encouraging veterinarians to report cases of vitamin D toxicity in dogs through their online portal or by calling their local consumer complaint center. Pet owners can also use these resources to report suspected vitamin D toxicity.

I'm not surprised that there appears to be an above-average buzzword density in this list. Generally speaking, go with foods that have been through actual feeding trials as opposed to foods that try to appeal to your emotions through fuzzy wording.

@rijesusfreak Didn't realize you were promoting your own blog. Explains the clickbait though.
