“We understand that this recall has caused pet parents considerable anxiety and that the well-being of their pet may have been affected,” according to a Hill’s press release.

To combat the challenge, the company is expanding operating hours of its consultation service and will pay for diagnostic screening for toxic vitamin D levels. It will also reimburse pet owners for medical costs involved with eating the affected food.

Last year, there was a vitamin D dog food recall involving separate brands. That recall was later expanded.

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs. If too much is consumed, however, it can cause vomiting, loss of appetite, or increased drooling, thirst or urination.
