dog food warning for those living in Isreal - Page 1

I've just heard that approximately 23 dogs in Isreal have died of liver failure after eating Nutra Nuggets Performance. This brand is manufactured by Schell & Kampeter, the parent company of Diamond. This comes from a very reliable source associated with the US FDA, so if you live in Isreal and are feeeding this brand, you might want to check into it.

Approximately 23 dogs have died in Israel in recent weeks from liver failure after eating Nutra Nuggets Performance, manufactured by the U.S.-based Diamond Pet Food company. Veterinarians say at least another 17 pets have been poisoned and that only a handful were expected to survive. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ordered a recall of several Diamond Pet Food products in December [2005] after tests showed many bags were contaminated with aflatoxin, a potentially lethal chemical found on grains. Israel's Agriculture Ministry recalled the products in February [2006] after several dogs in Israel died. -- ProMED-mail
