From: "Rebecca Little" <pbgs@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Diamond dog food and gas Date: Tue, 19 May 2009 10:15:58 -0400 I could make several guesses as to why you are getting stunk out of your house but the thing that worries me most about Diamond is how many times they have been recalled.In MY opinion its a poor quality food...I am betting you can get a better quality one for a similar price. Here is a link to what they say about the food http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/showproduct.php?product?2&cat=5 The site has alot of info about foods. Alot of the 6 star foods are super high in protien but the 5 star foods have alot of other foods that are great choices. Wellness, timberwolf, innova, canidae. Although I do not buy dog food I do think that Canidae and the food you are feeding is nearly identical in price. Rebecca Little Peakes Brook German Shepherds ************************************************* Canidae is now made by Diamond Pet Foods - see my correspondence with Canidae below: From: "Darlene Smith" <shebland@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 4:11 PM To: support@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Website: General Email Form A local pet food store told me today that Canidae is made by Diamond Pet Foods Company. Is this true? Darlene Smith __________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Darlene, Due to increased demand for Canidae products, we have been faced with unique production capacity challenges. We specifically selected Diamond Pet Foods because of their rigorous quality control process, including 141 ingredient tests and ten final product quality and safety checks prior to shipment. Additionally, Canidae requires hourly testing to confirm quality and product safety in the onsite laboratory. Canidae has stringent quality requirements, which require that only the highest-quality ingredients are used in our products as well as regularly audited protocols by a highly respected independent laboratory for food safety, quality and palatability. In addition, all Canidae products meet or exceed AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) <http://www.aafco.org/> nutrient profiles in USDA <http://www.usda.gov/> and FDA <http://www.fda.gov/cvm/animalfeed.htm> approved facilities. We are very happy with our new relationship and the resulting high-quality formulations we are able to provide to our customers.
