I have no idea what they were feeding him before he was rescued. But I am sure it wasn't any type of quality food. Don't complain....TRAIN!!!

Good grief!!! I'm sending this info to my son as well. Thanks Connie, for keeping up with this. A man here in Phoenix lost his Bernese Mountain Dog to the tainted dog food, don't know which brand he fed him. His 2nd dog was sick for a couple of days, but the Bernese didn't make it.

It was the Diamond incident a little over a year ago that convinced me to try raw - I figured if someone was going to mess up my dog it would be an educated me, not someone else. Results? She's just turning 8, looks great and has energy to spare. And I rarely have to give benedryl anymore... I used to feed the wal-mart premium wet food to my cats as half of their diet, but switched that to pre-made raw last year - whew! K-9 Knitter

This is (IMHO) frighteningly slow; there is still no public info about exactly what was wrong with the tainted ingredient.

I'd really like to know b/c I feed Nutro/Nutro Max dry kibble to both my 16 mo old GSD and my 6 mo old lab pup. Need to know, cause they are running out and until I switch over to complete raw, need more kibble. "Draw freely upon your imagination" Albert Einstein
