ALERT - All dog and cat owners!

[Gen]

It is important that all be aware of this:

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reports that at least 76 dogs nationwide are believed to have died as a result of eating contaminated Diamond Pet Foods."

"The company has recalled 19 varieties of dog and cat food because tests showed high levels of aflatoxin, a naturally occurring toxic chemical that comes from a fungus found on corn and other grains that causes severe liver damage in animals."

"FDA also has discovered that some of the recalled product was exported to at least 29 countries, including countries within the European Union. These countries have been notified."

Here is the complete article about this:

I'd never heard of diamond brand. I always buy my little Ginger the same brand. Pedigree little bites. If something bothers her tummy I'll throw away the whole bag. Were fixing to get a new puppy whenever I can get my hubby to go look. I love animals We treat ours like they were our own children.

Thanks for the warning. I've never seen that brand in the UK so I think we're alright.
