I am so sick about the TOTW situation. I checked my current bag and it says it is that Taste of the Wild is a registered trademark of Schell & Kampeter and gives the 1-800 phone number. I looked up Schell & Kampeter on line and guess what - they are doing business as DIAMOND PET FOOD COMPANY. I am truly heartsick. I quit feeding Canidae when I learned that Diamond had bought that product. So I wrote Jourdan back - here's my latest email...
Jourdan,
Thank you for your quick response. After reading your reply I checked my current bag of TOTW food looking for a reference to Diamond. There was none. I looked up Schell & Kampeter and found out that it was dba as Diamond Pet Food Company. To me, an owner of beloved show animals it is very distressing- whether intended or not it leads me to believe that Schell & Kampeter doesn't want the Diamond name associated with it's Taste of the Wild product line.
I belong to a Yorkie forum where we discuss dog foods extensively. I have always shouted praises of TOTW - and then there was the recall - and now I find out after over three years of feeding this product that it is a "Diamond Dog Food" product.
I want the best dog food for my dogs. I thought I had found it. I quit feeding Canidae when I discovered the product had been purchased by Diamond and started feeding TOTW.
I would like very much for this email to be forwarded to the President, CEO, Customer Service Manager, and all other top officials of Schell & Kampeter. I am not the only one who is concerned and disappointed "finding out" that TOTW is nothing more that yet another Diamond Dog Food product with safety recalls.
Sincerely,
Cindy W. Hice |
