A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall The Critter Corner Another pet food recall - Diamond again

Just thought I'd mention this since Cindy brought it up a while back. There is another Diamond Pet Food recall. People are getting salmonella after handling dry dog food, then not washing their hands and ingesting or spreading the salmonella. There are no reports of pet illness, but dogs can get it and it can make them very sick. Just thought y'all would like to know. I don't know if I can post a link here but it includes Taste of the Wild, which if I remember correctly, Jimmy was planning to switch to. I also switched to it. It's only specific batches but it covers lots of brands.~Beth~

WOW!!!!! I rest my case!!!!!

Processed pet foods are freaking NASTY!!!!
After watching the video of the processing of pet food I have "opted out".
Spartacus eats raw steak, chicken, fish....he loves baby shrimp (buy them in one pound bags frozen and thaw out a handful at a time under running water). Yes, I spend a lot of time preparing his food (he's a large cat, and eats constantly) but I would be lost if something happened to him...and especially if something bad happened to him because I fed him processed/packaged/store-bought food made from dead rotted animal carcasses with "additives" and preservatives...etc...
The pet foods that have chicken as the 'main ingredient' don't really have chicken MEAT in them...it's the skin, feathers, beaks, feet...the parts that are left over that would be thrown in the trash.

OK...stepping down off my soap box again...
Thank you, Beth!

You are welcome. So far no recall for cat food, but you never know. If I had only the one small dog, I would cook for her, but these other 3 big beasts eat too much. I am just crossing my fingers I am not poisoning them. Spartacus is a lucky cat!

Diamond again ? Why am I not surprised I would feed that crap to my worst enemy. I change to Victor love and my dogs love it no seeds has chicken fat but dogs waste has cleared up and they are no longer Hungary all the time. With 6 dogs with one being a 100 pound black lab mix I don't cook for them only for my parrots haha
