Elevated levels of this hormone may affect a dog’s metabolism.
Other symptoms include increased thirst, increased urinary output, restless behavior and weight loss.
Wellness has received no reports of any health problems as a result of feeding this recipe. No other Wellness products are affected.
The likelihood of a dog getting sick from the affected product is remote.
The recipe is just a mixer or topper and intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only,
Multiple studies indicate that, for most pets, symptoms are reversible when the pet stops eating product with elevated thyroid hormone.
The chance that the product will sicken a dog is remote. Still, Wellness voluntarily recalled this recipe with these three best-by dates.
If you have any of the 13.2 oz recipe with these three best-by dates, please email Wellness at wecare@wellpet.com or call us at 1-877-227-9587.
