Diamond Naturals dog food variety recalled I just heard this on my local news Diamond Naturals dog food variety recalled - Friday, April 6, 2012 | 2:11 p.m. - Las Vegas Sun |
Diamond Naturals Dog Food Recall |
Could this be why I have had a hard time finding TOTW in Lamb? The store I buy my food at keeps telling me they have had a hard time getting TOTW in Lamb for about 3 weeks. I just checked two days ago and no one knew why but now I read this about Diamond. Makes me wonder!!!!:confused: |
I don't personally trust Diamond at all (and TOTW *is* a Diamond product). |
I made a switch from TOTW to FROMM a couple of weekends ago.....for two reasons. The first is that Riley would not eat the kibble unless I mixed something in with it. I was mixing about a teaspoon of canned Weruva.... and the second reason was that I started reading about some dogs who were eating TOTW were forming crystals in their urine... I didn't mind mixing the Weruva but when I started reading about that, I decided I would make a change away from Diamond. Riley eats the FROMM with Nothing added to it....which makes me Happy!! I got a bag of the Chicken A La Veg and a bag of the Porkchop & Applesauce. I have also started feeding him Primal Raw again for breakfast. If I remember to take it out before I leave for work he will also have for dinner, if not, then he will eat the FROMM Kibble. |

I really LOVE Fromm. I'm pretty sure they are my #1 fav company. The only reason I am not feeding them right now is because the last time we tried, Jax got itchier than usual.... once the food stopped, the itchiness stopped. And he got very runny eyes on Surf and Turf. I think there's just a combo of certain ingredients in their foods that maybe don't agree w/ him (barley, flaxseed, brown and white rice, etc). Just a guess from different trials. But I have a coupon for a free bag and I am going to try their new Gamebird recipe and see if he likes it, he tends to do well on duck and lamb meats. He's doing fantastic on Acana Singles line (duck, and lamb) at the moment though, so not really wanting to change.. doesn't even need the wet food mixed anymore, and his poops have been awesome!! (LOL) but yeah, Fromm is my FAV company and I only wish they offered a more simple formula-food with bigger kibble! Surf n Turf is TEENY and Jax doesn't like it, LOL. Here's the Acana lamb & apple ingredients, and I like that they are very simple, only one protein source, but still high quality and only one grain (oats). Lamb meal, deboned lamb, steel-cut oats, peas, whole apples, whole potato, sunflower oil, oat flakes, lamb liver, sun-cured alfalfa, whole pears, algae meal (source of DHA, EPA), pea fiber, sweet potato, pumpkin, butternut squash, parsnips, carrots, spinach, cranberries, blueberries, kelp, chicory root, juniper berries, angelica root, marigold flowers, sweet fennel, peppermint leaf, lavender, rosemary, plus premium vitamins and minerals.** ** For a full list of vitamins and minerals, please visit championpetfoods.com GUARANTEED ANALYSIS Crude protein (min.) 25 % Crude fat (min.) 16 % Crude fiber (max.) 4 % Moisture (max.) 10 % Calcium / Phosphorus (min.) 2.2 % / 1.4 % Omega-6 / Omega-3 (min.) 2.5 % / 0.5 % DHA / EPA (min.) 0.2 % / 0.2 % Glucosamine (min.) 700 mg/kg Chondroitin sulfate (min.) 500 mg/kg CALORIE DISTRIBUTION Metabolic Energy is 3505 kcal/kg (421 kcal per 250 ml cup) with 27% of energy from protein, 40% from fat and 33% from fruits, vegetables and steel-cut oats. |

I like the looks of that Acana!! :thumbup: :) |
I like the look of Acana too. I wanted to try a food that has only one source of protein at a time and was looking a the Natural Balance LID (limited ingredient diet) but just read on another threat that Diamonds makes this food. |

He is doing Awesome on it!! :thumbup: |
Well, that pretty much solve my dilemma. My next food purchase will be Fromm.. I am waiting for samples from Natural Balance and TOTW, I guess I'll be chucking them. Thanks for posting this :) |
I have been debating on whether to switch Mr. Picky Butt to Acana. We can't get Fromm's here...our "boutique" pet store had never heard of it, so I ordered it online for Moses, and he wouldn't touch it. So I might try the duck and the lamb and apples. He is eating (well, not really eating) Royal Canin. I switched him to the mini formula and he started itching like crazy, nibbling on his front legs and all. So I wll try the Acana. This is ridiculous that this little baby won't eat...but then my hubby has been sneaking him bits of human food, which is soo bad for him. Now he is pickier than ever! Hmmmph! MEN!! |
