Giant said it “has removed all affected product from its shelves and urges customers to return the product to their local store for a full refund.”
The company said it has received no reports of illnesses to date, however customers should stop feeding the recalled products to their pets.
“Dogs ingesting elevated levels of Vitamin D may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling and weight loss,” Giant said. “Vitamin D, when consumed at very high levels, can lead to serious health issues in dogs including renal dysfunction. Customers with dogs who have consumed any of the products listed above and are exhibiting any of these symptoms should contact their veterinarian.”
