According to a statement issued by the company, dogs who ingest excessive levels of vitamin D can exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss.

When consumed at dangerously high levels, serious health issues such as renal (kidney) dysfunction can occur.
