I recently read that 95% of people will continue feeding their pets the same food after it's been recalled. A very sad fact but I can see if it's one recall but Diamond has had pet food recalls since 2005 when they put up their recall site. It's getting a lot of traffic lately! Also it seems as though Diamond likes to do their recalls on Friday night, why?? Is this because they want people to forget over the weekend? It really is disgusting and I can't believe people are still trusting this brand after it has been repeatedly plagued with recalls. I have heard over and over – well it's not my state or it's not my flavor of food that has been recalled. Well here we have food from Aug 2011 and I'd like to ask "how much of this food has been fed?" however we also know that most commercial dog foods sit in warehouses for 6-12 months before ever hitting the store shelves. I am hoping this is the case – the food has been sitting in a warehouse uncontrolled for months so Diamond can now pull all the food and no other pets get sick. How many more foods will be recalled? How long will the next posted recall go back? These are questions you should be asking yourself when you say "well, it will be ok?" I'm sure your dog or cat appreciates that. One more thing – how did you like that the cat food recalls from Kirkland (Costco) weren't really publicized? That food got a blip in the recalls. What was the reasoning there? Hmmmm did the store that sells that brand have something to do with it? I'm thinking yes.
Diamond has expanded their recall (again) to include certain foods manufactured back in August, 2011.
Diamond Naturals Small Breed Adult Dog Lamb & Rice Formula samples, 6 pound and 18 pound bag sizes, manufactured on Aug. 26, 2011, have been added to the limited voluntary recall, due to potential exposure to Salmonella. No illnesses have been reported.
