“As someone who’s as into food as I am, I had not given a lot of thought to what a dog/pet needs; there are very specific things to maximize their metabolism and overall health and keep their weight down,” said Brown, who has now partnered with Hill’s Pet Nutrition, a subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Hill’s Pet Nutrition voluntarily recalled some canned dog food because of excessive levels of vitamin D, which can lead to serious illness and death.
