Diamond Food / Chicken Soup

[Muffie's Mom]

That's fine! We welcome comments from anyone.

I, for one, am not going to take any chances. I have 2 Yorkies and 1 is a puppy and we haven't found a good food for both yet.

I'm just going to play it safe. I realize nothing has been proven yet.

Tottaly agree...lets react but nor OVER react...and be aware, this could have happened to any other company..

It is only the one plant that was affected. I for one am not an alarmist... I am not going to make any changes based on pending tests, or assumptions made by anyone. For all we know this cat and dog died of some other cause and we have upset owners looking for someone to blame...... And what do you know?!? There is a food scare going on... It must be the food!

I am very sorry for the death of any amimal, but I would think that with the sheer volume of people feeding CosCo brand dog and cat food... we would be seeing deaths by the thousands, not just one cat and one dog.


(Now for this next bit... let the fur fly!)


And for the record..... I am not advocating the feeding a known toxic substance to any pet! I am, however, a firm beleiver in the idea of not burning someone, or a company, at the stake without solid proof. I feel that Diamond pet foods is doing everything in their power to correct the problem and has taken great procautions to insure the safty of its consumers. I will not jump ship just yet!

Sorry guys.... I cant yell fire with you all.

MHO.... thanks for letting me weigh in.

Thank God there's someone else on here to type that all out I totally agree. Did everyone stop eating McDonald's coffee when that woman burned her leg with the coffee?
Thanks Kathryn!

The thread is open to everyone. Each person is due their own opinion. I hold no ill will toward anyone no matter what their opinion.

I just know that I'm not taking any chances whether anything is proven or not. That's just me.

I browsed that site a little and didn't see anything that said CSFTPLS isn't a quality food. Did I miss something that you may have read on there???????

It's obvious by reading the ingredients of Chicken Soup that it is a quality food. I have not heard anything bad about Chicken Soup - in fact I've heard nothing but good things until this whole ordeal about it maybe possibly being poisoned

I was just about to order it, but nevermind, I would rather be safe than sorry later.....

Any ideas on good quality food guys??????

[Muffie's Mom]

I think it is one of the top foods with very good ingredients.

I've done a lot of research of the premium dog foods and still have to make up my mind which to use.

[Kathryn_V]

Natural Balance is a good food, many feed their kibble and many use the rolls as training treats.. its good stuff.

[Muffie's Mom]

Canidae
Innova
Wellness
Natural Balance

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more.

A few weeks past someone posted last years list of the top premium foods. Does anyone have a copy of that?

[cindy0721]

Muffie's Mom, would you say you rate those foods in that order? I wanted to get opinions because no one here locally sells or gives samples, not feed stores or petco or petsmart, I also have to drive 30mins to get to a petstore so I want to make sure Iget a good quality food, sorry, I am a BIG worry wart!

[Muffie's Mom]

No, I don't rate them - just came off the top of my head like that. There are a lot of them. I just don't have time to research it right now and just couldn't think of any others. I'm on "brain overload!"

I suggest everyone go to the internet and research the premium dog foods. Weigh one against the other and then make your decision.

Do you not have a feed store there in your town that sells dog food? Or health food stores?

I'm going to switch Zoe off of CSFTPLS only because she's not that into it. Sadly, she ate the Science Diet she was on when we got her better than this So I'm going to switch to Innova, which is what my vet recommended in the first place. Sadly again, the nearest place that carries Innova is like 40 minutes away
