“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,” the FDA-backed notice said. “Vitamin D toxicity may include vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, and excessive drooling to renal (kidney) dysfunction.”

They're only listing a prescription food, so far. I wonder if more varieties will be added.

My sister had her dog to the vet two days ago. Vomiting, bloody diarrhea. $600 in blood tests. Waiting on results.
She was eating a Purina food that is different than the one recalled.

Edit for update: bloodwork does not show vitamin D overdose on my sister's dog. Her variety of food is not the problem

The recall is only on one of the veterinarian diets. Recalls aren't always a bad thing.

Just sharing information that could be helpful to someone.
