Dog Food Recall: How Can You Get Your Refund?

Sunshine Mills Inc. has recalled three of its Nature’s Promise dog foods. The recalled dog food contains elevated levels of vitamin D, which can pose a health risk to pets, according to The Sentinel. The recall includes:

• 4-pound bags of Nature’s Promise Chicken & Brown Rice dog food with a best buy date of Nov. 1, 2018, through Nov. 8, 2019
• 14-pound bags of Nature’s Promise Chicken & Brown Rice dog food with a best buy date of Nov. 1, 2018, through Nov. 8, 2019
• 28-pound bags of Nature’s Promise Chicken & Brown Rice dog food with a best buy date of Nov. 1, 2018, through Nov. 8, 2019

Consumers that have purchased the recalled dog food should immediately stop feeding it to their dog as the elevated levels of Vitamin D can cause an adverse reaction. Symptoms may include vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. The increased vitamin D levels can also cause renal dysfunction. If your dog is displaying any of these symptoms, seek medical treatment from a veterinarian.

Consumers should dispose of the affected dog food or return it to the store where they purchased it for a full refund. Giant Food Stores, as well as Martin’s Food Markets, have pulled the recalled dog food from store their shelves and urge customers to return the product to their local store for a full refund. Both companies have not received any reports of illness due to consumption of the dog food, according to The Sentinel.
