Consumer Alert

If you live in one of the states where Diamond Pet Food is sold, take note: certain brands have been recalled. The states are: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky (eastern), Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, Vermont, and Virginia.

Apparently many batches of this food (there are multiple brands involved; read the story) have been contaminated with a toxin which causes liver failure. "As of Jan. 6, more than 100 dogs have died from the illness caused by the contaminated pet food."

Fortunately, Tigger eats Science Diet, but if you normally feed your dog something by Diamond, stop!

EEK! (Good PSA, though.)
