INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Nestlé Purina is expanding its recall of specialty dog food after more bags were found to have potentially toxic levels of vitamin D.

Nestlé Purina PetCare Company in February issued a voluntary recall for select lots of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental prescription dry dog food after at least two dogs showed symptoms of vitamin D toxicity after eating the food.

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs, but elevated levels can cause health issues including vomiting and kidney problems, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says.

The original recall covered 8-pound bags of dog food, all with UPC code 38100 19190, and 20-pound bags of food with UPC code 38100 19192.

Nestlé Purina now says a supplier error resulted in potentially high levels of vitamin D in two additional product lots. The affected products are:
