Hi, we're so glad you're visiting.  Welcome to the CFP Pet Community.

The CFP Forum is officially "inactive" -- I am exhausted and just cannot keep up with it.  All our wonderful moderators and buddies who wholeheartedly participated with me in this forum also have busy lives and -- one could say -- we all got burned out talking about our fur-kids for years. It got to be pretty addicting, but life and reality has now taken over. I love you guys -- enjoy reading the posts OR if you want to register and say hello, please do not expect an immediate response or a lot of replies. God bless and please take care of your fur-kids.

PERMISSION TO CROSSPOST FAR AND WIDE

You may think the Diamond food scare is over, or that only a limited amount
of product is involved. Not so.

On Monday, March 6 - after 3 feedings of Diamond's Premium Edge Chicken,
Rice and Vegetables - we almost lost 3 of our 4 GSDs. The only reason it did!
n't effect the 16 week old is because we kept her on other feed. Within 20
minutes of ingesting their dinner, 2 of the dogs proceeded to vomit dark green
undigested food and within another 2 minutes they were foaming at the mouth and
stiff-leg gaiting. Another 5 minutes and they were having what I - as a
nurse - would refer to as petit mal seizures. After a traumatic night at the
local emergency clinic, the diagnosis was "food intoxication from Premium Edge
kibble".

The following day, upon contacting Diamond in Meta, Missouri, I was assured
they would work with me in this and stand behind their product....the
reimbursement for any and all vet care, etc was also discussed. Upon asking for
financial assistance for a test Diamond requested at Cornell ($300.00/dog
minimum) - a test that per my vet and those at Cornell said was a CYA call on
Diamond's part - they changed their mind on "helping out". I refused that
particular test, awaiting results from another analysis on samples.

Notification came yesterday from University of Missouri Vet Met Diagnostic
Lab: "Each of the four submitted samples of dog food contained approximately
0.5 ppm of vomitoxin, as detected by thin layer chromotography...".

Judging from no reference to this on Premium Edge's website (incredible how
many products Diamond makes but very difficult to trace back to them - each
feed/product seems to have it's own website/contact), no contact as of yet
from Diamond and certainly no "standing behind" their product it appears they
are not overly concerned about their consumers.

Research your food thoroughly. If it is even remotely related to Diamond -
DO NOT FEED!! If you are so inclined, please write concerns to Diamond - you
can reference me if so desired. My particular contact was Dr. Brookshire,
Director of Veterinary Services.
