1. Oh, dear!

Where can a family buy some dry CAT food - I know this is dog food - but I always could count on CostCo. Yes, I knew that Diamond Pet Foods made the food, but, so far, my cats have thrived on their dry food, even during the scare.

2. My cats are also eating their dry food.

They are doing quite well. I hope this is very limited. It is a top quailty food and they love it.

3. I think that this IS limited ... here are the links ...

http://www.nutranuggets.com/ & the general website ...

http://www.diamondpet.com/ .

It looks as if they are being VERY careful.

This whole situation has made me much more aware of, not only what is in pet food, but what is in some HUMAN food.

4. This is the brand I use too...

I get it from my vet or from one of the local ranch suppliers.

My owners cats have always been very healthy on it...good coats, bright eyes, no problem with kidney stones or bladder infections.

5. I can't believe this is STILL going on

unbelievable

6. This is starting to hit closer to home

So far the food my dogs eat has not been on any of the lists but this one scared me for a few moments. I knew they ate some sort of Diamond lamb and rice dog food :scared: but I checked and it's not "nutra nuggets." It's called "Diamond Naturals." Whew! But this makes me worried about Diamond dog foods in general now. Are there any brands that are safe or are we going to have to start feeding our dogs human food?!

7. Is this their own Kirkland brand?

I hope not!
