Mars Petcare UK recalled CHAPPIE Complete Chicken & Wholegrain Dry Dog Food 3kg (batch code 045F9MIN05, best before 11 May 2022) because of high levels of vitamin D. High levels of vitamin D fed to a dog over a short period (weeks/months) should not cause undue concern; over a longer period, ingestion of elevated levels can lead to potential health issues.

The same notice also covered PEDIGREE Mixer and PEDIGREE Adult Complete dry products (see the official notice for full details).

Point-of-sale notices were displayed in retail stores. Owners were advised to stop feeding the affected batch and to contact the Careline for a refund.
