Melissa, I wrote to Diamond concerning the cat food since my cats were on the Maintance and two just recently died prior to hearing all this. The person that responded to me was: Dr. Melissa Brookshire Director of Veterinary Services Diamond Pet Foods Meta, Missouri 573-229-4203 Office 573-229-4655 Fax MBrookshire@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx She was very prompt with her responses as I had more then one email sent to her concerning this and all their food. Hope this helps you and anyone else that needs this. BTW......My dogs were on the Lamb and Rice which they say is ok, however I will wait it out before I feed them that again.

Their vet said if their dogs do get sick from this toxin there is no treatment, so obviously they are beside themselves with worry. Is this accurate that there is NO treatment or anything they can do to stop/reduce any potential illness before any symptoms show up? They have one unopened bag left which I suggested they ask Diamond to have tested (would think testing the food would be cheaper then paying for bloodwork on 10 dogs) but they have been unable to reach a LIVE person through Diamond's phone number, only automated choices. They are not on the list so any suggestions or advice I can forward to them would be appreciated.
