# Major Recall Alert: Canine Milk Replacer Recalled Due to Variable Levels of Vitamin D
Pet owners, take note! Revival Animal Health of Orange City, IA, has issued an important recall of its **Breeder’s Edge® Foster Care® Canine** and **Shelter’s Choice® Canine Milk Replacers**. These products have been found to contain **variable levels of Vitamin D**, which could pose serious health risks to dogs. If you’ve purchased or are using these items, it’s essential to understand the potential dangers and take immediate action.
## Why This Recall is Important
Vitamin D plays a vital role in maintaining a dog’s bone health and overall wellness, but excessive or deficient amounts can have severe consequences. The recall highlights that certain batches of the canine milk replacers may contain **both low and high levels of Vitamin D**. Elevated levels are particularly dangerous as they can lead to symptoms such as:
- **Vomiting**
- **Loss of appetite**
- **Increased thirst and urination**
- **Excessive drooling**
- **Weight loss**
In extreme cases, consuming high levels of Vitamin D can lead to **renal dysfunction**, a life-threatening condition for your pet. So far, **two reports of dogs developing rickets** (a condition caused by Vitamin D deficiency) have also surfaced due to low levels detected in the product.
Pet owners must act promptly to prevent serious health implications for their furry companions.
## Details of the Recall
The products affected by this recall were distributed **nationwide in the United States**, both online and in retail pet stores. These items were sold in **stand-up resealable bags** and **12 oz jars** under the following brand names:
- **Breeder’s Edge® Foster Care® Canine Milk Replacer**

The recall was voluntarily initiated by Revival Animal Health after an investigation found inconsistencies in Vitamin D levels. This is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of pets and is being conducted in cooperation with the **U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)**.
