I’ve seen this a few times around the news networks, thought I’d just pop it up here just in case.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reports that at least 76 dogs nationwide are believed to have died as a result of eating contaminated Diamond Pet Foods.

The company has recalled 19 varieties of dog and cat food because tests showed high levels of aflatoxin, a naturally occurring toxic chemical that comes from a fungus found on corn and other grains that causes severe liver damage in animals.

The company recalled products manufactured at its Gaston, S.C., plant from around September to November 2005. Based on sample testing, Diamond has narrowed down the exposure to food produced on Oct. 11, Brinkmann said Thursday.

Bubba was changed to Eukanuba Senior Plus after his last visit, but I’ve never heard of this Diamond Pet Foods before the awful stories about the contamination. They apparently only label under their name Diamond Pet Foods, but do yourself and your dog/cat a favor — buy only the best.
