What is the risk involved?

Alice Moore, a Dorset veterinary surgeon at Castle Veterinary Clinic, Dorchester and Weymouth. said: “Dogs are very sensitive to some compounds of vitamin D and accidental ingestion of vitamin D tablets can cause significant toxicity.
Signs include drinking a lot, vomiting, diarrhoea, depression and lethargy. In severe cases, heart problems, kidney failure and vomiting blood can occur, and dogs have lost their lives after accidental ingestion of vitamin D tablets.

Pedigree has advised owners to seek advice from a vet if you have fed this product to your pet and they are showing signs of illness.  Symptoms to look out for include excessive drinking and urination.

A spokesman for Pedigree said: “These products do not meet our high quality and safety standards, so we are taking this proactive step to retrieve the listed products. We ask consumers who have purchased these specific, affected products to immediately cease feeding it to their pet and contact our consumer care team for more information.”
