Attention ALL FLORIDIANS!

If you live in Florida.... PLEASE be aware of this recall!

https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/florida-company-recalls-61-dog-and-cat-supplements-that-might-cause-paralysis-and-death/ar-AA18wCxJ?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=3228cf41fb3044a6b2c6179661dde23e&ei=11

....from the Stratford Care USA-written, FDA-posted recall notice, which also explains, “Vitamin A toxicity may include general malaise, anorexia, nausea, peeling skin, weakness, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, and death.”

Stratford Care says it was only a distributor of the recalled supplements and not a manufacturer.

The supplements were sold by in 60-count bottles by veterinary clinics, retail stores, Amazon.com, Chewy.com and other online retailers, such as Pawstruck.com. Pawstruck is one of the retail brands among the 61 brands listed in the recall notice. The vast majority of recall covers private brands, such as Florida’s Wilton Manors Animal Hospital, All Paws Animal Clinic of Royal Palm Beach, Doral Centre Animal Hospital but also for clinics in Tennessee, Georgia and other states.

Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

Thank you Olesia. We know first hand about too much Vit A from straight fish oil. Number 1 side effect is over pressure in the head which can lead to demise elsewhere.
