I've been reading so much on pet foods lately that I can't remember half of what I've seen, but I know somewhere someone was saying there may be a separate issue with pet foods having too much Vitamin D in them? That this was possibly also causing pet deaths?   Does anyone have any other information on this, or was this just chatter on one of the boards?

Nothing has been proved, although a suit has been filed in Canada, alleging that Royal Canin contained excessive amounts of vitamin D.

You can read an article about it here:

Here's another article that cites PETA as calling on the FDA to investigate the vitamin D issue:

Royal Canin and MediCal are being sued.
