The maker of Omega-3 supplements for dogs and cats sold under several brand names is recalling some products over concerns they may have dangerously high levels of vitamin A, according to a company recall released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Florida-based Stratford Care Inc. said the voluntary recall came in response to a single report of a dog exhibiting symptoms of vitamin A toxicity.
Ingesting high levels can lead to health problems depending on the vitamin A level and the duration of exposure, the company said in its recall. Vitamin A toxicity can include general malaise, anorexia, nausea, peeling skin, weakness, tremors, seizures, paralysis, and death.
Stratford Care said only one adverse reaction was reported and no other products were affected. He has asked customers, retailers and clinics to scrap the supplements.
Vitamin A is an essential vitamin for pets, but poisoning can occur when a pet consumes too large a dose. For most species, toxicity occurs after consuming 10 to 1,000 times the dietary requirement of vitamin A, according to the Merck Veterinary Manual.
