The dog food recall over possible dangerous levels of vitamin D now includes at least one brand of canned dog food.

Hill’s Pet Nutrition is voluntarily recalling some of its canned dog food products “due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D.”

The company said that the food was distributed through retail stores and vet clinics across the country. None of their dry foods, cat foods or treats are affected.

The symptoms of vitamin D toxicity in dogs include vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling and weight loss.

The Food and Drug Administration launched an investigation into the presence of elevated and potentially toxic levels of the vitamin in dry dog food last year, after receiving complaints from pet owners about dogs suffering from vitamin D toxicity.
