January 31, 2019 at 09:52PM Hill’s Pet Nutrition Voluntarily Recalls Select Canned Dog Food for Excessive Vitamin D

Hill’s Pet Nutrition is voluntarily recalling select canned dog food products due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D. While vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs, ingestion of elevated levels can lead to potential health issues depending on the level of vitamin D and the length of exposure, and dogs may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. Vitamin D, when consumed at very high levels, can lead to serious health issues in dogs including renal dysfunction. Pet parents with dogs who have consumed any of the products listed and are exhibiting any of these signs should contact their veterinarian. In most cases, complete recovery is expected after discontinuation of feeding.

Réunion Island imports hundreds of thousands of tonnes of agricultural inputs a year. At the other end of the chain, little use is made of the organic waste generated by farming and agrifood activities. The GABiR project, led by CIRAD, was launched in 2017 in the aim of closing the loop. As the project reaches the halfway stage, we look at its achievements in the light of the challenges faced: climate change, erosion of resources and soil pollution.
