(KDKA/CBS Local) - The FDA is warning pet owners about a batch of potentially dangerous dog food. Higher-than-normal levels of Vitamin D were found in the food.

Too much Vitamin D can lead to health problems in dogs, puppies, and young animals.

According to the FDA, "Dogs ingesting elevated levels of Vitamin D may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling and weight loss."
