Earlier in November, Nutrisca and Natural Life Pet Products, both based in St. Louis, Missouri, issued the voluntary recalls, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Nutrisca has recalled one formula of its dry dog food nationwide. Affected bags have the best-by date code of Feb. 25, 2020, through Sept. 13, 2020.
"Nutrisca became aware of the elevated levels of vitamin D after receiving complaints from three pet owners of vitamin D toxicity after consuming the product," the company said in the recall. "An investigation revealed a formulation error led to the elevated vitamin D in the product."
Those recalled items are:
- 4-pound Nutrisca Chicken and Chickpea Dry Dog Food with bag UPC 8-84244-12495-7.
- 15-pound Nutrisca Chicken and Chickpea Dry Dog Food with bag UPC 8-84244-12795-8.

Pet owners with those products should dispose of them immediately or return them for a full refund at the point of purchase.
Natural Life Pet Products recalled only one item in eight states. The company’s 17.5-pound Natural Life Chicken & Potato Dry Dog Food Bag has been recalled in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and California. The affected bags have the best-by date code of May 29, 2020, through Aug 10, 2020.
