Diamond Food (also kirkland) recall and feeding raw - Page 1

Diamond Food is recalling some food due to Salmonellas contamination.

This is not an anti-raw post, but it is some food for thoughts.

I think raw meats can be laden with Salmonellas. If the recall is truly valid and warranted, it is also a verdict on feeding raw, IMO.

When and where is this recall? Thank you.

Isn't this old news? It was a voluntary recall and yes, I totally agree with the salmonella thing. The problem wasn't the dogs eating it, it was that human infants ate it and got sick. 

bee did they feed it to the babies? Bad baby, bad! LOL

You can "starve" salmonella with  diet  for a week. I had salmonella froma mayo once, fluids and diet and I was great in a week...

I take my chances with my dogs with raw.

Gripes against kibbles are some valid some not.

I take my chances with kibbles over raw.

Actually, feeding very rare, just cooking the first 1/4 inch of any meat is a good compromise. I will never feed ground raw food to my dogs.

My gripe against kibble is high temperature processing.

I don't buy pre-ground. When I make dog food, it goes in nearly frozen, then it is packaged and frozen again for a specifit time to prevent bacterial growth. Hit it with some acidity on top of that. It helps.

Should I not be feeding costco brand salmon and sweet potato? The dogs love it. Where is this recall??

 
Anything Diamond plant makes is bad and poison for dogs..has been for years..no matter what brand they stick on it..

 This subject and dog food has been discussed on here for 6 years  GOOGLE all the threads about Diamond food.

  Carnivorus animals eat raw.

   Birds eat seeds and plants.

  Only man sticks corn, flour, oats , wheat in food and burns it and stick a few dead dogs, buckles, rawhides etc in it for flavour and puts pretty pictures on bag with bright colors and hire movie stars to promote the food

  God told man to work the earth and supply out of it.

  NOW natural is the way for any way you want to have good health  even for humans.

   Stuff a narcissis with some raw meat and put in your dogs bowl...let him celebrate life.

YR:  Would that be a free range narcissist, or will any old narcissist do? I worry about the GMO's in narcissists, too, I'm convinced they will cause allergies.
