Neither has Natural Balance Organic! However, there is no

site and it's safe.

I feel like they owe their customers an answer. I just took all of my dogs to the vet to get tested and luckily they are okay. Okay after $400 worth of tests that is. I am one of the ones about to switch to home cooking.

Nothing phases me anymore. I am home-cooking and if that gets recalled I will feed grass

Hello All,

I fee mine Nutro Small Bites and Nutro Puppy (dry). I have been feeding the puppies and Mom Nutro Puppy Lamb and Rice. I know I can't cook for all of mine. I am so upset too.

I went to the store to get a few more cans of "chicken soup" puppy and they didn't have any. She told me they recalled those cans and it was not because of the food it was because they had to put something on their labeling on the can that was not there. She said there was nothing wrong with the puppy can food.

Attention

Diamond Pet Foods has announced it is withdrawing a limited number of canned products manufactured by American Nutrition. This action is limited to three specific canned products: Chicken Soup for the Kitten Lover's Soul Kitten Formula 5.5 oz. cans, and Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover's Soul Puppy Formula 13 oz. cans, and Diamond Lamb & Rice Formula for Dogs 13 oz. cans.

Diamond Pet Foods took this action after learning the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed rice protein concentrate was used by American Nutrition in the above three canned formulas.

The products being withdrawn were not formulated or labeled to contain rice protein concentrate. The rice protein concentrate was put into our products without our knowledge. It should also be noted that we have not received any notices of pet illnesses. All tests received to date verify the absence of any contaminants. No other Diamond brand or Chicken Soup brand canned or dry pet food formulas are affected by the American Nutrition recall.

We are appalled that this action was necessary, and will continue to work with the FDA on this issue. In the meantime, withdrawing these three canned products is the right thing for our company to do.

Customers with these products should stop feeding them immediately and return them to their retailer for a full refund.

Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul dry pet food and dog treats ARE NOT part of any pet food or treat recall. We manufacture all of our own dry pet foods.

Please contact our customer call center at (866) 214-6945 if you have any questions about these products.

That's the canned puppy stuff...that's what I fed

[Ozzie'sperson]

Both Ozzie and the two kitties are homecooked eaters.
My mom just told me the other day about something on the news saying chickens are being fed the stuff and THAT could make the melamine (sp)
show up.

Chicken is a large part of our homecooked regimen. So I'm watching these three even more like a hawk.

GRIEF!

this is outrageous. Does anyone know any unusual signs to look for specifically? Zoe had canned chicken soup months ago but would have the diarrhea each time and our vet at the time told her to stop anything that doesn't agree with her stomach.

I e-mailed the company asking about specific signs & symptoms, their vet got back to me:

"All the retainer samples have tested negative for melamine.

The signs are referable to the kidneys. The dog's tend to vomit right away after eating the food. They may have increased water intake. The crystals are seen in the urine if a urinalysis is performed.

Let me know if you have other questions.

This was her e-mail in case anyone wants to ask anything... jrettenmaier@diamondpet.com then you don't have to go through the website contact form (that's what I did).
