Thanks to Jess for the detective work! Interesting to see that Menu foods is responsible for so many brands! I use Canidae too and am happy with it because not only is it a top premium food, but my dogs like it too. But I have no problem with Diamond and was feeding the Diamond Small Breed puppy kibble but switched to Canidae so all 4 of my dogs could eat the same food (from puppies to senior).
Many human food companies have had recalls too. My medicine was recalled. I don't hold it against a company automatically if they have to recall a product. Diamond was very proactive after their dry food was discovered to contain a mold from corn. (This was back in 2005) They redid the recipe for their food and no longer use corn in their kibble! I thought that was a great response. Their food is very good ingredient-wise and my dogs loved it! It is the dry food that they ate the very best. As soon as the two little ones are a year old, I will probably include the adult Diamond in our rotation.
I will buy Peter Pan peanut butter again too as soon as it is back on the shelves. Recalls happen. So many companies have to rely on other suppliers and tragedies do happen. So sad when that costs lives -- human or our pets. But I won't boycott a company just because of a recall. I do detest the delays in initiating the recalls though. I know corporations have a lot of red tape but when they could be saving dogs' lives, they should react more swiftly than Menu Foods did! |
