[Dailydrool] Canidae dog food discussion

[jkapanowski at wowway.com]

Thank you for the info.  I have to confess to a knee-jerk reaction when I 
read that Candidae has contracted with Diamond to manufacture their food.  
Diamond had a huge recall in December 2005 because of aflatoxin. A lot of 
dogs died.  Hopefully Diamond has revamped their testing parameters and keeps 
a good eye on their manufacturing processes.  I switched Twinkie from Solid 
Gold to Merrick after reading that Diamond manufactures Solid Gold foods.

Interestingly, the list at the link I've provided below above says nothing 
about Diamond manufacturing Candidae, but if its a recent change, the listing 
may not have been updated.  Seriously, my intent is not to scare anyone, but 
I found it something to consider with my dog.  To see who manufactures your 
brand of food, there's a pretty good list here:
