Key points

  • Revival Animal Health has recalled specific canine and goat milk replacers due to incorrect Vitamin D levels, which can be harmful or even fatal to young animals.
  • The recall highlights the risks within the booming pet wellness industry, where premium products command high prices but may lack equivalent quality control.
  • Pet owners should always consult a veterinarian before using specialized formulas or supplements, rather than relying solely on brand marketing.
  • Consumers should check any Breeder's Edge or Shelter's Choice milk replacers they own and follow the recall instructions for disposal or return.
