Why does Petco sell Hills Prescription Diet after dog food recalls?

Question

How can you sell or even have on your shelves....HILLS PRESCRIPTION DIET DOG FOOD????? After excessive Vitamin D killed hundreds of dogs, including My Sweet Loving Lani, with "poison"....no quality controls at Hills when their third party added two times the amount of Vitamin D to their product????? Prescription Diet....there's no FDA ingredient in it that requires a prescription.....just corporate wanting MONEY.....

I'm very sorry you lost Lani. Yes, it is true there was a recall for a high level of vitamin D, but there are many dog foods that have had recalls for a number of different reasons. Overall, it has proven to be an excellent food, which is why we sell it. They do run food trials, have veterinary nutritionists on staff, and meet AAFFCO standards, which none of the boutique and grain free diets do. I know you won't agree with my answer, and I am so sorry that you lost your dog.
