The FDA has expanded its list of dog food recalls.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced more dog food recalls because of excessive Vitamin D levels.

We reported that Sunshine Mills brands were recalled in late November 2018, and they are still on the list, though others have now joined it, according to People Magazine.

Too much Vitamin D can cause kidney failure and/or death in dogs. .

The Sunshine Mills brands affected are the Old Glory Hearty Turkey and Cheese, Evolve Chicken and Rice Puppy Food, Sportsman’s Pride Large Breed Puppy Food and Triumph Chicken and Rice.

From Ahold Delhaize, affected brands include Nature’s Promise Chicken and Brown Rice and Nature’s Promise Real Chicken and Brown Rice dog foods.

Kroger’s Abound Chicken and Brown Rice dog food sold by Kroger is affected in its 4-pound bag, while the same brand sold by King Soopers is affected across 4-lb, 14-lb and 24-lb bags.

From ELM Pet Foods, the ELM Chicken and Chickpea and ELM K9 Naturals Chicken recipes are affected.

ANF Lamb and Rice bags dated Best By November 2019 are recalled as well, as it Lidl’s Orlando Grain-Free Chicken and Chickpea Superfood recipe.

Natural Life Pet Products’ Chicken and Potato with Best By dates between December 2019 and August 2020 are on the list, too, as is Nutrisca’s Chicken and Chickpea recipe with Best By dates between February 2020 and September 2020.

According to the FDA, symptoms of Vitamin D poisoning include  “vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling and weight loss.”

For now, only dry food has been recalled for this problem, but an FDA investigation is still underway, and could affect more brands and varieties as well.

For this reason, if it’s affordable, many people are starting to feed their pets more upscale products that are growing ever-closer to actual human food, or, if you follow veterinarian Judy Morgan’s advice in her cookbook Yin and Yang Nutrition for Dogs, you will actually cook your pups human foods.

To end on a happier note, dogs named after food were one of the big trends of 2019 when it came to canine monikers.
