Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs, however if it is ingested over a long period of time it can lead to serious health issues.
Increased volumes of vitamin D may cause vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, weight loss and more serious conditions including renal dysfunction.
Suffolk Trading Standards have issued a warning for a series of multi-pack products which may exceed the recommended intake of vitamin D.
