These are the exact vitamins I give my dog.  :(  But thankfully he has shown none of the symptoms so far.  Still pulling them immediately, feeling really bad he's even had one out of this container.  <shiver me timbers>  Kind of a creepy feeling. 

OMG in my email... more united pet products recall. 

First it was Pet Pro Adult vitamins for dogs...

now its a whole long freakin LIST of Pet Pro and other nutritional supplements.  Dogs AND cats as well now.  If you give your pet anything besides food, check this list.  Lots of different companies, not just pet pro.
