Due to the discovery of aflatoxin, Diamond Pet Foods has issued a voluntary recall of certain pet food products manufactured in our Gaston, S.C. facility and distributed to states in the eastern U.S.
If you suspect your pet has symptoms associated with aflatoxin, please consult your veterinarian immediately.
We are experiencing an exceptionally high rate of emails and telephone calls in response to the recall. To help answer many of your questions, please review the information below. We appreciate your understanding and pledge to provide updated information on a timely basis.
What clinical signs should I look for from my pet?
Clinical signs of aflatoxin illness include yellow whites of the eyes, yellow gums, yellow in the belly or areas where hair is very thin.
When should I take my pet to the veterinarian?
If your dog has consumed affected products and has clinical signs of aflatoxin, which include yellow whites of the eyes, yellow gums, yellow in the belly or areas where hair is very thin, you should immediately consult your veterinarian.
Because numerous diseases and conditions may have similar clinical signs, your pet could have a problem other than aflatoxin. If your veterinarian institutes treatment for aflatoxin, please have him or her call Diamond Pet Foods at 1-800-442-0402 and ask to speak with one of our consulting veterinarians.
What should I do if my pet consumed recalled products and has any of the clinical signs?
If your pet has consumed products included in the recall and exhibits these systems, please urge your veterinarian to run a liver profile. If your pet is found to have abnormal liver function, please have any other dog you may own that was fed the same food tested for liver function as well. Even if your pet does not show symptoms, monitor it for 7 to 12 days and consult your veterinarian if illness develops.
