I thought I'd pass this on for all those dog owners out there, this was posted on my Ferret Forum. I hope that everyone and their furbabies have a wonderful Holiday Season!

"Dear Petfinder.com members,

We wanted to make you aware of a recent pet food contamination issue that has caused the death of six dogs so far. Diamond Pet Food has removed its dog and cat food from sale after a dangerous toxin was found in a product manufactured at the company's facility in Gaston, South Carolina. The plant supplies pet foods to New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and other east coast states. To get more information about the cause of the illness and symptoms to watch for, please see the memo from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture at

Please feel free to pass this message on to anyone who would benefit from it.
