When consumed at very high levels, Vitamin D can lead to serious health issues in dogs, including renal dysfunction.

Dogs that ingest elevated levels of Vitamin D can exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. If you are concerned about your dog exhibiting any of these symptoms, contact your veterinarian.
