It is crucial for pet owners to check the recall lists and stop feeding their dogs the affected products if they have purchased them. High levels of vitamin D can cause serious health issues in dogs, including symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. Aflatoxin, on the other hand, can be toxic to dogs and can lead to liver damage or even death.
If you have been feeding your dog any of the recalled products, it is recommended to contact your veterinarian immediately for further guidance. They can provide you with information on any necessary steps to take and can monitor your dog’s health if needed.
It is important for pet owners to stay updated on dog food recalls to ensure the safety of their beloved pets. By being aware of the current recalls and taking appropriate action, we can help keep our furry friends healthy and happy.
