Diamond Pet Foods has expanded its voluntary recall to now include dry cat food. They had previously stated that only dog foods were affected. This is being done as a precautionary measure, as the product has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella.

To determine if you have any of the affected food, please check the production codes on the back of bags that have a number "2" or a "3" in the 9th or 10th digit and an "X" in the 11th digit. The best-before dates for the recalled brands are December 9, 2012 through April 7, 2013.
If you have purchased any of the recalled product, please dispose of the food and bring us the empty bag to be issued a credit or exchange. If you have already thrown away the bag, we will be issuing credit with any proof of purchase.
The primary concern with salmonella is that individuals handling dry pet food can become infected, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with surfaces exposed to this product. Pets with Salmonella infections may have decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, pets may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting.
Thank you for your attention on this matter. Pet$aver is always concerned with the well-being of your pet. We will keep you up to date on any news of this nature. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 585-621-0890 or Diamond at 800-442-0402.
