I 'think' I saw HOTD post someplace that you have a cat ping list?

Interesting in that most elevators test every load for afla toxin. That and just about every processor is required to.

It is a fairly simple test, but can be a bit spend. It is possible to miss some.

COSTCO has been selling dried smoked chicken breasts for dogs...not for human consumption...Made In China.

Now I would not for one moment buy this product and for no other reason that these have to be part of the millions of birds destroyed in China for having, or for possibly having the bird flu that has been in the media for months.....

The contaminant, aflatoxin, grows on corn put in the products.

Has anyone notified the vegetarians?

[Ditter]

An 'aflatoxin' is what I lost my little 1 1/2 year old Jack Russel to last March. An 'aflatoxin' is a toxin found in nature and it destroyed Tooties liver. The vets said it was something moldy that she ate. It had to be something in my back yard, I suspect some mulch from last year that had grown mold on it. This 'aflatoxin' in the dog food is from moldy corn. It is a natural toxin not a chemical poison.

[Calpernia]

Oh! That is an interesting thought!!!!

Excellent point and thanks for posting that.

[Calpernia]

I'm sorry to hear that :(

Aflatoxin is also a serious problem in peanuts. (see Jimmy Carter)

That's me. Thanks!

I hope the word gets out effectively. Diamond is a pretty popular non-grocery store brand, and I know a lot of people who either feed it or have fed it in the past.

[Ditter]

Yeah, it was awful, it broke my heart to lose one so young. In 8 weeks I had Tooties full sister from a later litter and her name is Cookie. That is
the only way I know how to get over the hurt, get another one.

There is a company that makes a lamb-pearl millet and chicken-pearl millet dog food named Canine Caviar.

Pearl millet does not get aflatoxin like corn does.

You would need to search the net, but the product is easily found.

My disclaimer - I do not work for Canine Caviar.

I just bought a 20lb bag of the Diamond puppy food yesterday....checked...no "G" in the date code. It had an MN, so I guess it was made in Minnesota.

Whoops! Wrong banner!
