The Duck Hunters Haven

It took me a while to confirm it but I fed my dogs from contaminated food bought at Tractor Supply in Tupelo, MS. I did have a yellow puppy die after making the switch from puppy chow to diamond. I can’t confirm that the diamond was the cause but I am pretty sure it was. I have reported the death to Diamond, but I have yet to be contacted by anyone. I will post more info as I get it.

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.
