If there is a pet food recall in Canada, it is up to the manufacturer, not the government, to warn consumers.

Eight dog food brands, including one that is sold in Canada, are being recalled after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned about their potentially deadly levels of vitamin D.

U.S. pet food maker Evanger's Hunk of Beef product has been recalled after one dog died and four others fell ill. The dog food was found to contain pentobarbital, a drug used to euthanize animals.
