A particular brand of prescription dog food has been recalled due to excessive Vit D levels. Hill's Pet Nutrition makes specialty diets that are usually purchased from a veterinarian. Dogs only had to eat a little before the toxicity did its damage. A number of pets have since died.

It is heartbreaking to lose a pet. It is worse when the pet dies because of a pet food that turned out to be toxic. It must be so much worse when that food is an expensive veterinary product given to help the animals health. In many cases the dogs were not in danger of death until they ate the food.
Hills is recalling the food, but they are not tracking it down. It is up to the pet owner to check any food they have. So far the company has not acknowledged responsibility for any deaths or reached out to grieving pet owners. They are taking calls from them. I don't know yet if they will cover vets bills.
