This recall involves 4 different recipes of Simply Nourish Fresh Market Adult Gently Cooked frozen dog food. About 51,000 packages of the food, in 2 different sizes, are affected.
No other Simply Nourish dog or cat food products are part of this recall.
The recall was initiated after tests showed higher levels of Vitamin D in the product than is allowed. According to the company, Wet Noses Natural Dog Treat Company of Monroe, Washington, the fault lies with the vitamin mix manufacturer — who allegedly failed to "detect or properly communicate" that there was an issue.
No pet illnesses have been reported to date, but consuming too much Vitamin D can cause health complications including vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling and weight loss.
"Consumers who have dogs that have consumed any of the [affected]
products ... and are exhibiting these symptoms should contact their veterinarian," the recall announcement states.
The affected Simply Nourish frozen dog food was sold at various PetSmart stores across the United States. A quick search shows these specific products were recently removed from PetSmart's website.
