Yep, like this one:

Hill’s Prescription Diet and Science Diet Dog Food Recall

January 31, 2019 — Hill’s Pet Nutrition is voluntarily recalling select canned dog food products due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D.

Vitamin D, when consumed at very high levels, can lead to serious health issues in dogs including kidney dysfunction.

There's a HUGE list of foods in the recall so hop on over to the Dog Food Advisor if you are feeding Hills.

Wow that is good to know. How long ago did it happen? I'm sure glad they are OK. Good job following your gut instinct.

Oh wow I wonder if the vomiting had anything to do with the excessive Vitamin D amounts that keep happening in pet foods? Hmmm.

Yes we like Merrick too. We stayed in Hereford once, where the company still has offices. Nice people and great food. So glad it's working for your kiddos!

From The Dog Food Advisor

February 14, 2020 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is cautioning pet owners not to feed one lot of Aunt Jeni’s Home Made frozen raw pet food.

The warning was issued because a recent sample collected from a retail store in the District of Columbia tested positive for Salmonella… and because the affected food represents a serious threat to human and animal health.

No image was provided by the FDA. However, the photo below was copied (in good faith) from the brand’s website… and may (or may not) be an accurate depiction of the related product.
