BREAKING NEWS: Fromm Family Pet Food of Wisconsin has announced a voluntary recall of three separate types of their canned food for dogs, which may contain too much Vitamin D.
The affected products were distributed between December 2015 and February 2016. A state-by-state list of Fromm retailers can be found here.
WHY WERE THEY RECALLED?
Voluntarily recalled by Fromm out of caution, these cans of dog food contain too much Vitamin D. This discovery was made by Fromm themselves, and the recall is being done in coordination with the FDA. While no health issues have been reported, the primary symptom is assumed to be a loss of appetite, though, as you'll see below, harsh cases of Vitamin D Poisoning will bring with it further symptoms, as well as the threat of death.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
According to Pet MD, dogs of all ages are susceptible to Vitamin D Poisoning, though young dogs and puppies are at higher risk. If your dog has consumed the food affected by this recall, keep an eye out for the following symptoms of Vitamin D Poisoning:
- Vomiting
- Weakness
- Depression
- Loss of appetite
- Increased thirst
- Increased urination
- Feces containing blood
- Blood in vomit
- Loss of weight
- Constipation
- Seizures
- Muscle tremors
- Abdominal pain
- Excessive drooling
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
If you have purchased any of these cans of Fromm, call the company at [800-325-6331] to inquire about a replacement or a refund. If cans have been opened, dispose of the food as soon as possible, ensuring your pet won’t find it.

I never buy pet food with chicken in it ever since my dog got very sick by eating it. Best to avoid any poultry products in pet food and if you want to feed chicken to your pet then cook it well yourself.

I have case of the recalled food. Don’t waste your time calling Fromm. They are not helpful. Go to the retailer where you purchased the items for a refund. My two basset hounds consumed a case of the chicken & duck mixed with dry food. It affected their appetites even with small amounts over a two week span. If you have any of this food, chuck it; don’t feed it to your dog.

Unless half the can is Vitamin D, those dogs that do eat it will be super healthy. Vitamin D is used in 100’s of metabolic processes in mammals. It’s more a hormone then a vitamin.

Bring back Chuck Wagon, It almost scary to even buy food out the stores now I worry about it every time I do lately. I’m going to have to start baking whole chickens and sweet potatoes like my great grandmother did for her poodles.
