cindy0721 · 04-01-2007, 06:04 PM

Ok so I have a question... my father in law was kind enough to bring back from his trip some Chicken Soup Dog food, however, as curious and cautious as I am I flipped the bag over and looked at the date on the UPC and it said Best By: 16MAR07... meaning march 16,2007 right? Well we are April 1,2007 today so does this mean the food is bad? I got a buy one get one free thing

and I have (2) 18lb bags now and I am so very worried that they are both bad....should I contact Diamond Foods... they have a satisfaction Guarantee.. I can't go back to this place where it was bought since it is 3 hours away but I do have the recipt showing it was purchased Saturday... any ideas guys.. I'm so worried now and out $$ too.

I would definitely call the store, they shouldn't be stocking stuff that is out of date, and I would email the dog food manufacturerer too, couldn't hurt. That really sucks they did that with you so far away! I doubt it is bad, but it certainly isn't fresh...they should make this right for you.

yah I would call both places it cant hurt

JUst don't use that!! It had to have sat in some ware-house for months, and I'm not sure why that happen. I'd definately call and report that to the company.

Call the Number on the bag they will send out new ones.

you think so? I am so livid... how can they be so inconsiderate....

I am going to call them tomorrow and fingers crossed they will send me two replacements..... I have a recipt that proves this..... geish

I would replace it, please dont feed them expired food. With all these pet food issues you just never know.

Yorkieluv · 04-01-2007, 07:15 PM

You're doing good by not feeding it to your furbaby. One time when we bought Miko's prescription dog food, we didn't check the expiration date. Well, we served him a bowl and he refused to eat it...We checked the expiration date and noticed that it had been expired for months!! He wouldn't even touch it, and he usually likes his food. Needless to say, we returned it. Why would they have a dog food on the shelves that's been expired or will expire in days?

good! thank good ness.... not so much of the money down the drain , but the fact that he really likes it and it is so far away to just run over and exchange it... I am glad to hear it is possible to get this corrected! Thanks a bunch!!

Let us know if they make it right for you or not please

cindy0721 · 04-02-2007, 06:06 AM

well I called this morning to Diamond Foods and they said that they don't refund $$ or send out merchandise on expired food... hmm great... so since it was 3 hrs away she is going to email customer support and have a guy by the name of Cornell call me and see what they can do... great... I am crossing my fingers and toes that they make this right....
