List Of Companies That Diamond Manufactures For?

[Geff]

I would very much like to see a list of all the companies that Diamond Manufactures for &/or co-packs. So far, the only 2 I know of are Solid Gold & Natural Balance. I suspect there are lots more. Anyone have any ideas?

[garypen]

With this new Natural Balance issue, combined with Diamond's past history, it makes me want to avoid Diamond-made dry foods altogether, and possibly their wet foods.

I know they had no problems with Chicken Soup wet or dry during their last recall, and I haven't heard anything about that brand now. But, I am contemplating pulling the Chicken Soup canned cat foods from my short backup list of wet foods as a precaution.

This shit is getting ridiculous.

I suspect that isn't complete, but thank you for putting all that we do know in one place!

[Geff]

Looks like we now also need a similar list for American Nutrition.

[garypen]

I'm sure we'll be seeing a few more brands recalling their canned foods soon. That'll help put the ANI puzzle together.

Can anyone confirm that Diamond produces Taste of the Wild?  TIA.

[Mary K]

Good question, and thanks for asking, as this brand came highly recommended by a local store, but I had forgotten the name.

According to Whole Dog Journal Taste of the Wild dry is made by Diamond.
