Fromm Family Pet Food of Wisconsin has announced a
voluntary recall of three separate types of their canned food for dogs, which
may contain too much Vitamin D.
The affected products were distributed between December
2015 and February 2016. A state-by-state list of Fromm retailers can be found
here.
Why Were They Recalled?
Voluntarily recalled by Fromm out of caution, these cans of
dog food contain too much Vitamin D. This discovery was made by Fromm
themselves, and the recall is being done in coordination with the FDA. While no
health issues have been reported, the primary symptom is assumed to be a loss
of appetite, though, as you'll see below, harsh cases of Vitamin D Poisoning
will bring with it further symptoms, as well as the threat of death.
What Are the Symptoms?
According to Pet MD, dogs of all ages are susceptible to
Vitamin D Poisoning, though young dogs and puppies are at higher risk. If your
dog has consumed the food affected by this recall, keep an eye out for the
following symptoms of Vitamin D Poisoning:
Vomiting
Weakness
Depression
Loss of appetite
Increased thirst
Increased urination
Feces containing blood
Blood in vomit
Loss of weight
Constipation
Seizures
Muscle tremors
Abdominal pain
Excessive drooling
What Can You Do?
If you have purchased any of these cans of Fromm, call the
company at [800-325-6331] to inquire about a replacement or a refund. If cans
have been opened, dispose of the food as soon as possible, ensuring your pet
won’t find it.
