Diamond Pet Foods Reviews

We normally have about one litter of puppies a year and Diamond has been really good about getting us samples to give to our buyers. However, our dogs seem to be getting sick of the Diamond food. They seem to be kind of over the flavors and they’re not eating that very well and so we mix chicken with it. It might be nice to come up with a new flavor or spice up the flavor a little bit to where the dogs like a little better. We do the Chicken & Rice and the Lamb & Rice but the dogs rarely eat the Lamb & Rice anymore.

I work with Ragdolls and I've been using the Diamond brand for about seven years. I used Royal Canin before but we switched because of the pricing and the availability of getting it. I purchase Diamond from Tractor Supply and I am quite happy with the ingredients, the way the kittens grow and the price point. I would tell others to use it as well.

I like that Diamond keeps our Cavaliers' coats nice and shiny. Aside from that, cavaliers are notorious for being overweight and I could free feed them and none of them gets fat. I use the Diamond Naturals for my adults and the Purple puppy food for the puppies. Normally, we have three litters a year. I used to have to Ziploc baby food for them and then I found out about the Diamond samples. It works so much nicer and looks more professional. I love that program. Also, when you're feeding a vast majority of adults, it could get expensive and it's nice that Diamond has a good quality for an affordable price versus some of the other ones that are double the price. I have been using Diamond for about 15 years now and I always recommend them.

I had Chihuahua puppies and it was our first litter. Other breeders recommended Diamond for the puppies. I'm using the Naturals brand, specifically the chicken and rice and the lamb and rice. Their coats are really good and they don’t have any stomach issues. I also have two Great Danes that eat it too. One tends to have reactions to certain foods and she seems fine on it. It’s been a good experience with Diamond and I recommend it to people. I gave everybody whom I sold puppies to samples of the dog food and told them to feed that. I also recommended it to my mother because her dog has an allergy.

I've been using Diamond for about 20 years now. That's all I use. I breed little Yorkies and Poodle and they do real well on it and I get their puppy kits too. I even give my customers samples and then I sent them home with the leaflet. I use the Diamond small breed puppy and I like that everything is natural. My dogs digest it really well and they don't have a lot of stool from it. I also use the puppy formula for my pregnant dogs and even after they whelp. It's more nutritious. I tell everybody about Diamond and even suggest where to go get it.

I was on Purina Dog Chow then I switched to Diamond Natural Large Breed Puppy a couple of years ago. Diamond has better quality food and I like the way they had more veggies in it. I raise Bassets and Bloodhounds and I have 4 or 5 litters in a year. A litter is ready to go at six to eight weeks, and Basset Hounds should weigh between 50 and 60 pounds while bloodhounds have to be 100 to 130 pounds. They are doing good on Diamond and they look good. They gain weight and keep it on. Also, I haven't had to take them to the vet except for the normal shots during the year.

I have standard poodles, golden retrievers, labradoodles and goldendoodles, and we have a litter about every three months. We’ve been using Diamond for about five years now but there are online reviews that a lot of people read about Diamond that are not so positive. A lot of people say that there had been recalls in the past and that Diamond is not safe. I try to reassure my customers but I would like to have some additional information in the brochures about the safety of the product that would help ensure them of the quality of the product. In fact, we chose Diamond over other brands because of the quality of the food and the price. We use the Natural Large Breed food and the dogs are healthier. Their coats look really well as well. We also used the lamb and rice, which helped with some skin issues that some of the dogs had in the past.

There were all those recalls seven years ago, and we wanted something that was American-sourced and American-made. When I called Diamond, the reps were very friendly and helpful. Since then, we’ve been using the brand for our dogs. We breed Aussiedoodles, which is an Australian Shepherd mixed with a Poodle and we often have litters. We feed the puppy food to the pregnant mamas and we use the Diamond Naturals in the kennel. We also are a small working farm, so we’ve got Great Pyrenees. We keep them on the Naturals Large Breed and it does really well. We’ve not had any allergies come from them. It’s a good, solid dog food and puppy food.

Diamond always does a good job. I breed Miniature Dachshunds and they seem to be in really good form. I got my dogs into the food after I did a lot of research and thought Diamond Naturals to be good. I've used Diamond Naturals Chicken & Rice and sometimes the beef. I've used it for at least a couple of years but now I get another brand of grain-free food. It’s by the same company though.

I breed Dachshunds and I've been using Diamond Pet Foods for 13 years now. The dogs love it and they do well on it. Their coats are very nice as well. We'll stay with it and we would never change. I've also been sending people a sample pack of it with the puppies along with the paper that tells something about it. I tell them that it's the best and that they should stay on it since it's what the dogs are used to.

Diamond is comparable to other higher-end brands but is still affordable. And with natural pet food, the dogs eat less because the food is better for them than the stuff that you can buy super cheap. We breed Siberian Huskies and we've been feeding Diamond for four years now. We have a litter a couple of times a year and everybody who buys the puppies gets two samples of the food.

I breed Pomeranians and have litters of them once a year. I send the puppies to their new homes with Diamond samples and let the owners know that it doesn't have corn, wheat, or soy. And that it is easy on the dog's stomach and keeps their stools consistent. I use the Small Breed Puppy Naturals, which is cheaper than that grain-free one. It also keeps the dogs healthy. I've been using Diamond for six years now due to its price. I love the Diamond Dog Food.

We like the Small Breed Puppy food. It has a very small kibble size and the puppies do good on it. There are lots of good dog foods but I cannot find any others that have that smaller kibble. We have Cockapoos but we have Great Bernese dogs too and I wish Diamond also had a smaller kibble size in the Large Breed Puppy food because the puppies can choke on the food. Still, Diamond is good food. We've been using it for several years now. We get some from the store and some from the distributor, and our overall experience has been good.

I've been using Diamond Pet Foods for 10 years. It's a really good dog food and it works better for my dogs. We raise Labs and we have 40 or 50 puppies a year and we send them to their new homes with Diamond samples. We got a litter of puppies now and the lady that got a puppy last year was complaining about the dog shedding in the past. I asked what she was feeding it with and she said, "Purina." I'm not that brand of guy and that's the breed that needs to switch to Diamond because they shed if you don't give the right food. I always tell people to go to Diamond, especially if they have problem with Labs. If you feed them on the Diamond, it helps its coats a lot. We feed our dogs with chicken and rice because it's good for Labs.

Diamond was recommended by our feeds store and through multiple brands, I’ve been using Diamond for about ten years now. I raise Basset hounds and I have eight of them. I used to use 4Health and the Diamond Naturals. I also did the Taste of the Wild which are Diamond foods. Two years ago though, I bought half a pallet of Taste of the Wild and I almost lost three dogs. I had to pull the food away from them and I got them onto a different food and it was touch and go for about three weeks on three of them.

Another breeder told me that my Border Collies would get more full on Diamond Pet Foods versus the food I was using previously. Currently my dogs coats are shinier and they look healthier. Using the food has been a big help for my dogs. Their stool has been firmer and they are more active. However, my retailer can't get Diamond samples so I can't send puppies to their new homes with that. I originally ordered samples one time directly from Diamond and they sent them to me to my home. But then, they said I needed to contact the local retailer to help take care of it and I'm not getting anywhere. Nevertheless, the health of my dogs has been better with this food.

I breed Labradors and I've used a bunch of different dog food brands, and I like the way that my dogs do on Diamond Puppy and Diamond Naturals. I have been using Diamond for about three years. Before Diamond, I used 4Health and I noticed that when my pet got around seven weeks old, they would get diarrhea. While mothers did good and gained weight, and the pups gained weight too, the stool was loose. I did not have this problem when I switched to Diamond. It was just too rich. My sister is a breeder too and I told her that she should try Diamond out. I told her what I was doing and she did the same thing and had great success too. All in all, I like the product. I'll keep using it.

We are very pleased with Diamond. We've been using it for 10 years now and it is economical. Also, the co-op that we use has Diamond so it's more convenient for us. We breed small dogs such as Toy Poodles, Miniature Dachshunds, Miniature Schnauzer, Yorkies, Shih Tzu and Chihuahuas. We produce litters at least once a month and we feed them with Diamond Puppy and Diamond Yellow. We've raised good moms and dads off of it and we recommend new owners to continue with Diamond which is a good dog food.

We have been using Diamond Pet Foods for a long time. They have a good quality assurance program where they check their products. They went through their growing pains like any dog food company where they had recalls, but if you look at their recent history over the last seven years, they’ve had very few recalls, if any. Also, they have plants on a national scale. They have them on the East Cost and West Coast.

My dogs have shiny coats and are active with the Diamond Naturals Small Breed Puppy food. We have been using it since 2014 and we send the puppies to their new homes with samples and recommend their new owners to continue using Diamond dog food.

I have a kennel of approximately 27 dogs right now and I breed Golden Retrievers, Yorkshire Terriers, and Chihuahuas. We have been feeding the adult and the puppy with Diamond Pet Foods Hi-Energy for about 10 years. Also, I'm a small animal dietitian and I have compared foods for a long time. As a breeder too, I was feeding Pride for a while and the Prism dog food. Then, a friend of mine and told me to try Diamond. I've compared it and Diamond ranks up there with the rest of them. Also, it's not as expensive although the natural is a bit expensive. It's convenient to my local Tractor Supply too, so I can run and get it as often as I need.

Years ago, I had gotten a new pup and I was feeding Iams puppy food for large breed at that time. I've always lived in rural areas and when I tried to find it in my area, I couldn't find it. I had to start looking around for something that was comparable and that's when I started using the Diamond Pet Foods large breed puppy formula. I've been using it for at least 20 years now. I breed Great Pyrenees and I have litters a couple of times a year. I start my puppies on a Diamond puppy feed because the kibble is smaller and when you've got a four-week-old puppy trying to eat dry kibble, you want the smaller kibble. But as they grow and by the time they got home, they're on the large breed puppy feed.

I have been using Diamond Pet Foods for about eight years now and I feel the value in the cost and the ingredients. I tend to stick with Diamond Naturals and I can’t find anything else for the price, or even for a more expensive price, that has everything that I want. I breed Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog and have litters three times a year. I always send the puppies to their new homes with Diamond and tell the new owners that they can see pictures of my dogs and they can see how well that mine all do on it. I also tell them that for the cost and for the quality, it’s the best bang for their buck. It contributes to the coats and the muscle mass and if I have a harder time keeping weight on them, I can put them on the Hi-Energy.

We have three dogs and we breed our dogs as well. Our breeder, the first person we bought our doodle from, recommended using Diamond Naturals and we’ve been using Diamond Pet Foods for about four years now. We use the Diamond Naturals Large Breed puppy food with our puppies and then when they transition to full-grown, we either do the Diamond Naturals blue, red, or orange bag. It helps them to stay healthier and it’s better with their coats. We breed Goldendoodles and have litters once or twice a year. We’d always send them home samples. I’ve sold one time and asked if Diamond would do anything for it and they sent some packs but it wasn’t a whole lot so we didn’t do it this last time.

I breed Yorkshire Terriers and they love Diamond. Since their bag size is larger, the food goes further for my dogs. I use the Diamond Naturals Puppy for the small breeds and when I send their puppies to their new homes, I also send Diamond samples every time. I appreciate Diamond's breeding program, which is amazing. I recommend Diamond to all of my puppy parents and friends. Also, I have people that get puppies from me and they always order the same brand.

Ever since ‘02, I've been using Diamond Dog Food as my dogs want to eat nothing else but that. I used the basic one for years, but then I changed to natural as the bite is sort of smaller. Some of the puppies don’t have teeth and that’s a good way of getting their teeth through. I start out by putting a little water to soften the food and it’s all that they get. I feed my dogs the natural as well. I have some Maltipoos, Chihuahuas and Shih Tzu and I have litters every three months. I try to feed the puppies some Diamond samples before I sell them. And then I give the pet owners one sample and the other bag that I’m using before they go. I get brochures from the company and I give them that too. The Diamond dog food is great and I'm very satisfied with it. My dogs like it and they are healthy.

I've had several Boxers and before they get to a year, they kinda go through a skinny phase. It had always been like that and there was like nothing that I could do to make them not look so skinny. However, when I tried the Diamond Hi-Energy, they put weight on and they looked like normal and healthy dogs. They are pretty active too. I've been feeding it to them for two years now and they have never had any health issues. They like it and eat it. I've tried other foods and I've even tried other high-performance dog foods and they really didn't matter. They kinda got a little mad at me for changing it. It's reasonably priced too so it's what I stick with.

Update: I stopped feeding this particular bag and contacted Diamond. They were professional and prompt about my concerns. The batch they said didn't have any other complaints against it and it has been in circulation for over 2 months. They stood behind their product and said to mail in a request for refund. This had been almost like a food poisoning situation that people get going out to eat. My dog is recovering and doing much better.

Our family has a 6 year old Pitt mix. He has to eat grain free food as he's got some pretty severe food allergies. We recently purchased Diamond Naturals Grain Free Beef and Sweet Potato dog food. Our always hungry dog took little to no interest in this food but eventually began to eat it. We bought this 30 lb bag because it's inconvenient to keep buying 5 pound bags of the usual brand we use every few days. Our dog's allergies immediately flared up. His skin is broken out and he's constantly itching. We didn't think it was the food at first. We thought maybe he had fleas. So we treated for fleas.

I started feeding all 4 of my dogs the beef and rice formula 2.27.2018. Right after one of my dogs Romulus vet checkup. The dogs really seemed to like it and I believed I made a good choice. Then around the beginning of June, my dog Romulus was not acting the same. He normally is very energetic and loves to eat. He became lethargic, vomiting, and diarrhea. It started in small amounts. I thought maybe he got into something and it would pass. He continued to have some good days but also some bad days. I scheduled a vet appointment about 2 weeks out. Then all of a sudden and I mean out of nowhere he started dropping weight, not just a pound or two but significant amounts in his last week alive. He was also dehydrated and consuming water at alarming rates.

I adopted a dog a couple months ago and was recommended Diamond Naturals Chicken And Rice small breed for her. I figured I would switch my other dog to this food as well so I wouldn’t have to buy two different brands. First two months was fine... Picked up a new bag of food just a week or two ago. Dogs didn’t seem to want to finish their food like they normally do. My little chihuahua started throwing up and wouldn’t eat anymore. She became very ill. She was lethargic, in pain and started having diarrhea. She had been admitted to the vet hospital for the past 5 days on intensive treatment... IV, antibiotics, vitamins, anti nausea, etc. She was throwing up blood and having bloody diarrhea and her platelets went to zero. We have had to give her a plasma transfusion.

We have been using Diamond Dry Dog food for years and had no issues. But the last few days our cat got very sick. Brought him into the vet and ran every test there was and came back with nothing but dehydration and low grade fever and elevated white blood count. They treated the cat for a parasite (but the tests came back neg for all parasites) and did an antibiotic and Fluids for dehydration. The cat had lost substantial weight, wasn't eating or drinking, lethargic. Then tonight we noticed our dog was very ill, same symptoms vomiting, lethargic, weight loss, no energy, won't eat or drink. So I check the bag to see if the dog food was expired but couldn't find a date, went online and found all the other posts about other people’s pets having the same issue.

We have a pit bull who is very allergic and Diamond seems to work very well for him. We also have another dog that does not have any allergies and she also loves the food.

My three dogs enjoyed the food, but it was expensive to feed three dogs Diamond Naturals. If it were a little less pricey, I might have switched to it.

Had problems with Diamond Naturals. My dog started drinking lots of water, lethargic and crying with cramping. Stopped the food and it went away. Called Diamond Naturals and they said nothing wrong with the food. Terrible food. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BRAND.

My dog eat just about everything, but seem Diamond Naturals make the dog ** more often. My dog is like a pig, keep eating and jump around for more.

My dogs love Diamond Naturals. They graze on their food all day but the dish is always empty at the end of the day. Someone recommended it to us and we have been buying it since.

I have fed my dog this Chicken & Rice Adult food exclusively for his whole life (5 years). Have never had a problem until 3 weeks ago when he started vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and stomach pain. He was diagnosed with pancreatitis and has been so sick for almost 3 weeks now. This all happened right after I opened a new bag of Diamond food (and he didn't get into anything else). After reading other stories of the same thing happening to their dogs, I knew I needed to also write a review and let people know what happened to us.

We have two Chihuahuas, Max & Merlin. They liked Diamond Naturals sweet potato and lamb for a while, then they didn't seem to like it as much. They would pick through it & only eat certain morsels out of the bowl. It was a little expensive so we went back to NutriSource. Honestly they are not real fond of that one either, we continue to look for one that they will like.

My dog did not like Diamond Naturals at all so basically the food and money spent were wasted. I did give it to my neighbor but not sure if his dog liked it or not. I don't know why my dog did not like the taste of the food.

Diamond Naturals is a great food but hard to find. Have to order it. Offers quality ingredients compared to other food with same ingredients cost is the same. My breeder recommended so I have stayed with it.

All my dogs love the Diamond dog food. They all seem to poop a lot less as well as eat less and their fur and skin are great, no dry skin, no heavy shedding or itching.

I have been an avid feeder of Diamond brand food for years I mainly use beef and rice. I feed all my rescues the same food. I recently purchased a bag of beef and rice at tractor supply in FP, Alabama. Within 4 days one of my shepherds started throwing up and having ballistic diarrhea. Then came the blood from her butt. In rushing her to the vet and 2 meds and 3 days of boiling chicken. She is doing better however all of my other dogs 2 shepherds 2 husky lab mix all started throwing up and filling kennels with diarrhea. All are now on meds and has to purchase 12 bags of chicken. It’s like your worst nightmare come true. And for the record none of my large breeds ever get anything but Diamond beef and rice food nontable foods period.

Diamond dog food is great for my dog. Ozzy finished it all his food everyday. I didn’t have problem with my dog because his plate always finished clean.

I had a show quality German Shepherd -- beautiful, smart, loyal, sweet and friendly. She was a wonderful dog. Her breeder told me I should feed Diamond. So I gladly drove over 30 miles each way to purchase this food. It gave her cancer and she died at only 6 years of age. I had a friend who fed Diamond to her two prized Rottweilers. They both died of cancer very young. This food is poison. I will never feed it to another dog. My German Shepherd was a great, great dog and this company's terrible ingredients killed her.

I have 4 dogs and 5 cats, I've used many other types but always go back to Diamond. They stay more shiny and healthy. I also love that I can change flavours...

I have fed my dogs Diamond Naturals for the last year and a half. Never had any issues up until the last two bags we bought. Much like the other complaints, my dogs are having loose stool, stomach rumbling, flatulence, skin issues, etc. And it's consistent! We had to get antibiotics to rule out any parasites that could be causing our dogs distress. Last night, I was up at 1 in the morning scrubbing my carpets because my German Shepherd had a fluidy diarrhea all over my living room!

I have a 4 and a half month old Boxer puppy. When the vet recommended we switch to a large breed puppy food I purchase Diamond Naturals large breed lamb and rice formula puppy food. We are on our third bag which is about 40 lb each. This week my dog became very ill vomiting multiple times in a day shortly after eating this food. While waiting for our vet to open I started doing research into the puppy food and have found over 205 complaints. 40 something in the recent months. Always similar stories. All with vomiting or hair loss. I for one will be switching brands. As making my dog ill and costing me if substantial vet bill is unacceptable. I'd like to know why this dog food has not been recalled yet. I then went to see if there has been any recalls and noted that it has not as of yet however this company has faced many recalls of its product in the past years. My suggestion would be not to ever purchase this food from this company.

My dog is a picky eater and her skin develops an allergy to most foods. For one, she didn’t want to eat Diamond Naturals and two, her skin broke out within a few hours after eating it. I suppose she knows what she can handle that’s why she seems picky.

Diamond Naturals has well balanced ingredients. Healthful and note there are no chemical additives or preservatives. My dog seems to really enjoy this dog food as he cannot wait to get to the bowl when it is time for his feeding.

We have been feeding Diamond dog food for approx 20 years, dogs always did well until the last bag we bought of Diamond natural chicken and rice and beef and rice. Dogs became uninterested in eating the beef and rice. My older guy ”13” has had kidney issues on and off for a couple of years, he was recently put on RX food, at that point, due to the disinterest. I bought the chicken and rice to go back to for my Airedale Terrier mix, we started it on the 3rd of April. On Saturday the 7th, she had a little diarrhea, on Sunday she was playing and acting herself but had diarrhea on and off, went to sleep Sunday evening and she woke us up having to go out. Obviously it was dark and sounded as if she had diarrhea again, by 3 am she had went out and had apparent diarrhea for the last time but shortly after she started to vomit, by 7 am she had nothing left in her to throw up but seemed nauseous.

I have been purchasing Diamond dog food for my two dogs for the last 7 years. They love the chicken and rice flavor and we have never had any issues, until this week. We have been purchasing our dogs' food from the local feed store but recently decided to give Chewy.com a try. Thinking maybe the dogs would like to try a different flavor we ordered the Beef and Rice. We received the food and almost instantly knew something was wrong. The dogs normally dig right in when we put food in their dish. Instead they both took about two bites and then wouldn't touch it again. The next day they were both sick and wouldn't go anywhere near the food. After reading other reviews on here there has to be something wrong with the Beef and Rice formula. Do I go back to Chicken and Rice or switch dog food completely?

I have been giving my dogs Diamond Naturals beef meal and rice for over 4 years now. Within the last 6 weeks or so I have noticed one of my dogs is not finishing her food and has had very bad diarrhea. My other dog gets his prescription food mixed half and half with the Diamond food so he finishes the food but still has diarrhea. This morning my female dog would not finish her food and she never does this. As soon as I mixed my other dogs' food with the Diamond food she ate all of it.

Been feeding this brand to my dogs for about a year now but after buying a couple of new bags a little under a week ago, we have narrowed it down and the food is the culprit. 24 hrs after opening the new bags, we woke up to runny diarrhea on the carpet. One dog was in and out all day long, just managing her bowels. Lethargic. Wouldn’t eat. A short 48 hrs later, the second dog joined her in loosing her bowels all over the house. 5 days after we had bought the bags of food, with dogs still having uncontrollable diarrhea, we pinpointed the culprit. It was the food. We purchase Nutro for years and only recently has switched due to this being sold at a store closer to us. But we’ll be going back to what worked for us and our dogs for almost 10 years.

I’m having the same issues many of you are having regarding the most recent bag of food. My dogs have been eating Diamond for 3 years (previously on raw diet). My male GSD is allergic to beef so the lamb was perfect for his skin issues but this most recent bag has made him sick. For those of you that their dogs recovered, was it medicine that helped or time? He’s gotten better over the last few days (since he hasn’t been eating) but still isn’t himself yet. I’m debating whether I should just give it more time or if I should get him into the vet.

I have been feeding my dogs Diamond food few years and the last bag I purchased a few weeks ago both of my dogs became very sick, lethargic, throwing up, hair falling out in clumps, diarrhea. My one dog went from 68 lbs to 48 lbs in two and a half weeks and my other dogs went from 82 lbs to 70 lbs. I took them to the vet today and changed their food. Within 24 hours they have improved but are still sickly looking.

I purchased a new bag of dog food recently, Diamond Maintenance brand. My Great Dane eats 8 cups a day of this food. I have two dogs. The other dog does not eat this food, although he was always interested in eating it. This new particular bag neither dog had interest in, very strange for my American bully who wants to eat everything!!! Eventually my Dane did eat it, and ate it for almost 4 days before he became deathly ill. He became restless, panting heavily, vomiting bile, running a fever, lethargic, depressed, weak, shaking, shivering profusely. I rushed him to the animal emergency clinic, performed X-rays to rule out bloat, which is common in Danes. They confirmed no bloat but he remained very sick even with intestinal antibiotic medication.

My husband switched to Diamond Naturals for Skin and Coat a few months ago. Everything seemed fine at first, I thought. She did start having a new behavior of whining for treats and would try to get table scraps as I scraped them into the Trash. She did get sick and vet put her on special diet for a while and gave her medication. When she recovered, vet said she could go back to her normal food (Diamond Naturals Skin & Coat). That was at least a month ago. After realizing a few days ago that she really wasn’t eating much of food, I began to wonder if that’s why she has been acting out lately. Went to pet store and bought a new brand. She is eating it all now! The best thing is she is much calmer and seems satisfied again! I just went online and googled “my dog is refusing hern” and found several sites talking about it. I am taking this unfinished bag back. So glad I took the time to check this out! Scary!

I have been buying Diamond dog food for one year now and have all 6 of my Pomeranians on it. First off... all of my dogs are restricted to our front or backyard by fence. All of my dogs are up to date on vaccines. Two of my poms are 5 month old puppies, who only use the front yard while the adults only use the back. Ok, so, after opening the newest bag of food, my dogs began having diarrhea in a domino effect. One of the adults has fur coming out by clumps as I brush her! I am very concerned it is the dog food which I have replaced with rice. I was refunded the money for the food, but can only contribute the sick behavior to the fact that there is no other contributing factors and it is too coincidental with the time frame of the new bag... and ALL of them have the runs. Anyone else get bad food 2nd week of Jan 2018?

My dogs have not been finishing their food last few days with new bag I purchased. My 5 year old German Shepherd was extra tired today and died in her sleep. Her puppy passed same way yesterday. I am pretty sure it was from bad batch of dog food. Will be contacting in morning and may sue the company.

I purchased the Diamond Naturals Beef Meal and Rice Formula a week ago for my Labrador. About 3 days after starting this brand she started having loss of coat, on day 5 it was extreme. Day 6 vomiting and very sluggish. She does have an allergy to chicken, and in the ingredients there is chicken fat, but she has had multiple brands that have had either chicken by-product or chicken fat in it (hard to find foods that don’t) and has NEVER had such a sudden and severe reaction like this. I can guarantee her reaction is not due to an allergy, but from the food itself. Upon reading reviews and seeing similar issues/reactions with other pets, it is clear this food needs to be recalled. I, for obvious reasons, will never purchase or recommend this food.

Have feed Diamond Naturals BEEF before without an issue but this time our dog was reluctant to eat it after a few days of being fed from this newest bag. Started with cow-pie stools and hair all of a sudden is falling out in handfuls (middle of winter). Something is WRONG with this food!

When reading these negative reviews, it is clear to me that people blame pet food because it's easier than blaming yourself for not washing 10 year old pet food containers, or for letting your dog eat the garbage or get into some toxic chemicals that cause kidney failure. Dog food is not poisoning your dog. The worst thing that can happen is food intolerance or allergy, not all dog food is great for dogs with "conditions".

My dog was having doing well before I switched her dog food to Diamonds beef flavor. Over the past few weeks, we saw many changes occur. Her hair started to fall out, she had bowel and bladder incontinence, and vomiting. The food should be recalled! This is insane that it is still on the shelves for purchase. So many animals are falling sick to this food. Please buyer beware!

We bought Diamond Dog Food chicken and rice adult at Tractor Supply. We have a 1 year old fawn doberman and a 9 year old dachshund. We purchased the dog food December 23rd 2017. Both dogs seem to really enjoy it. About two weeks later we noticed neither dog was finishing the food in their bowl. Our Doberman began throwing up his dog food about an hour after eating 2 days ago. He has became tired and doesn't seem to have much energy. We thought maybe he was getting sick and didn't credit it to the dog food until today. Our dachshund began throwing up and looking lethargic about an hour after eating the Diamond Dog Food as well. I immediately threw away the rest of the dog food we had left after doing some research and reading all these other reviews of having similar effects.

I have 3 dogs and while they are not finicky eaters, Diamond Dog Food sold by ACE Hardware American Pride Co-op is the only dog food my dogs get excited about. There are several formulations and they are all great for different ages and activity levels of dogs.

The Diamond brand dog food is found at feed stores. After years of trying all dry dog foods it has been the best in regards to price, my dog's skin issues and easy yard clean up. We use the chicken & rice flavor.

I have been feeding Diamond Premium adult for many years. I have noticed in the past couple of years that they have changed the formula. Why? Guess they had to mess with a good product. I have noticed a lot of my dogs have a loose stool and do not seem to retain their weight as they have in the past.

We had our yellow lab on Diamonds for 8 yrs. until he got cancer and died, now we have a black lab and a brindle pit/lab mix and we give them the same food. After trying another brand their skin became dry and they were scratching so much and we switched back to Diamonds. Our lab had diarrhea for a couple of days, took her to the vet and she had a stomach virus nothing to do with the food. I stopped buying doggie treats and rawhide bones after reading what they are made of. Now for their treats they get broccoli, sweet potatoes, watermelon, apples (no seeds) and carrots and they are doing great. Sometimes it's not the food but the treats, rawhide toys are horrible for them and their digestive system plus the dyes and ingredients in their dog treats can cause them a lot of problems so read the ingredients. But fresh vegetables and fruit is much better. Give them raw and they will love it. But I will always keep mine on Diamonds.

Dog's coat looks good, they have plenty of energy, not overweight and not too thin. Cost is manageable and we are able to purchase 50 pound bags at the feed store, places like Atwoods carries Diamond 40 pound bags for same price. It is comparable to Natural 27 I used to purchase on the East Coast.

Did y'all change something in y'all's Diamond Adult dog food 50 pound bag? I have noticed in the past 2 bags of dog food, that my 6 dogs NO longer have a pretty shiny coat (Fur). Nothing has changed in their daily routine. Keep in mind I have been feeding Diamond Adult for about 7 years, other than when I switch about 2 years ago to the Diamond Natural Lamb and Rice. I ended up going back to using the Diamond Adult. I wasn't impressed with the Diamond Natural Line. With all that said. I paid way too much money to feed 6 dogs for something that y'all have changed. If it has something wrong with it y'all really need to recall. Please respond with something. Feeling a little cheated and disappointed. A month ago I would of recommended Diamond to anyone. Now I wonder. Thanks.

After using Diamond grain free salmon and sweet potato for 5 days my 3 dogs became sick. Was not sure it was food related at first but after three nights and days of throwing up the food and one dog panting throughout the night and could not make it through the night without pooping. Between the three dogs we would have 20 piles of poop a day! They spent two nights throwing up! Horrible experience. Immediately stopped the food. Only tried it because the cost was less than other brands of grain free. It was like poison to them! Beware!!

We have been using this brand for about two yrs. My Dachshund for the past two months has been experiencing some sort of bacterial illness from the food. Black diarrhea, severe vomiting. Can't do anything but lay there. She did a round of antibiotics. Did ok, even gave her a soft, different brand of food. Everything returned to normal. Once we put her back on the Diamond Naturals Lamb and rice, we have to take her for an emergency appointment on a Sunday. Same symptoms returned. If my dog dies, I fully pin it on this Diamond Naturals brand. Recall it.

I have used Diamond Dog Food for many years. I started with Extreme Athlete, and then it became too expensive. I then used Naturals and decided they did not have enough protein. I have been using Diamond Performance lately and has been very good for my dogs. To all the negative comments about Diamond Dog Food, pay attention to expiration dates just like you would for your own food. Expired dog food can do horrible damage to your pet. This is not the fault of Diamond but of the store you buy your dog food from. They don't want to lose money and they know that the majority of consumers do not check the expiration date so they continue selling the expired dog food. Pay attention to this to keep your loved one safe from many fatal problems associated with spoiled food.

We have been feed our dogs 4Health for the past 2 years. One of our dogs was ill with liquid diarrhea on Monday. We began feeding him chicken and rice while he is ill. 3 days later, a second dog refused to eat the 4Health formula (the ill dog is not in the home at present). On the 4th day, our 3rd dog suddenly is refusing to eat the 4Health chicken and rice formula. I went online and noticed that there are 2 very current this month - October, 2017 consumer complaints about this food. I am leary, and will not continue with the food, because I believe the dogs are telling us something. I will keep posted on the site to see if there are other 4Health complaints, and will try to figure out how the company should be notified. I was instructed to switch foods by given them chicken and rice human food and transition them into our new choice. Fingers crossed there is no recall on 4Health. We chose this product after extensive research and affordability.

I have been using Diamond Naturals Dog Food for about 11 years. I used to buy the chicken and rice exclusively but changed that 1 1/2 years ago because I have one dog that is allergic to chicken, so now I only buy the Lamb and Rice. I have 3 dogs, one that we just got last December. When we got him, his coat was dull and flakey and he smelled. He is a Chocolate Lab. Within 2 weeks, his smell went away and his coat is healthy and glossy, just like my other 2. I have faith in this food and have never had any problems with it at all.

I have two saint puppies, from two different breeders from two different states. It was recommended from a friend to use Diamond puppy food for large breeds. After we had their puppy check ups and we're finished with their puppy shots we thought we could then switch foods. Well one puppy got sick so we took her in, she has serious bladder/ kidney issues. About a week later the other started peeing all over, we took her in and she has the same issue. So after meds and months of special prescription food and UA tests done every other week, one puppy was getting better. One of the puppies will not recover, we were too late with her.

I have used Diamond Maintenance for over 11 years, I have raised 3 puppies on their puppy food but sometime about a year ago we noticed the dogs weren't eating it like they used to. At the end of the day they all still had food in their bowls, but thought it was because we had to rehome our livestock and with them our great pyrenees as well. He would clean up the left overs, he had acid reflux and DM was the only food that he could keep down. I have a golden retriever that is my service dog, and she acts like she is starving and has begun scavenging garbage, a very new thing, she is 9 years old and is getting too heavy, also have an 8 month old pyrenees puppy. We are training to replace her and a 7 year old shi tzu.

Our dogs have been eating this brand for years and over the last few months they have started to refuse to eat it. Furthermore they have been acting lethargic. I have a pug who will eat a boot if you let him. Something is not kosher. After reading the other comments I am switching immediately.

I have used 4Health dog food for some time. My Yorkie started losing weight and the got a bad odor about her. Her stool got black and loose. Went to the vet several times and finally got her off the 4Health dog food. It was too late for my baby. She went into kidney failure. After the start of the symptoms, over a thousand dollars of vet bills, she died within 3 weeks. I am devastated to think I killed my baby with this dog food. She was just 6 years old and in perfect health until the weight loss 3#, yellow foamy vomit (sometimes), black loose stools, and her odor. This was a good product, but something has changed in the past 3 months or so. BUYERS BEWARE.

Adult formula lamb and rice dry food - Our Bullie has been an indoor service companion her entire life. She's had zero health problems until about a month ago when she refused to eat (Bullies never refuse to eat). She became dehydrated and lethargic in a matter of a few hours. I nursed her through the next few days until she got out of the woods. She had extreme urinary inflammation. Here we are again. 2 weeks later. Same problems. Her condition is touch and go at this point. By process of elimination, we have to assume it is the food as she seems to get better when we switch. She's just not letting us feed her this time around.

I have had my dogs on Diamond food for the past two year however this I had to switch from the chicken Naturals to the Diamond HI-ENERGY. The chicken was making them sick. They would vomit a yellow foam up after about an hour after eating. They didn't do it all the time. Just from time to time never very much then their weight started dropping and they wouldn't eat it anymore. It would set there all night so we took them off the chicken.

My dogs were fed Taste of the Wild. Great food just spendy. We bought our house and needed to trim money from somewhere. Bought this food hoping for quality and a little cheaper price. I have two American Bullies and a Lab all adults. After two weeks of food my Lab has lost all the hair off his butt, has weeping sores, after 4 weeks my female Bully has welts all over her body, my male has diarrhea. I am switching to Costco brand dog food. Do not feed your dog this food!!! It's basically poison. I called customer service first. Was told they would pass the message on but was offered no advice or help or anything. Very unsatisfied.

It sounds like mine is one more voice added to the resounding negative reviews of Diamond dog food. Very concerning. I had been feeding my 5 month old Golden Retriever puppy the 'Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy Food' lamb and rice formula since she was weaned from her mother. However, the last bag of food I purchased for her in April 2017 caused my dog pain and suffering. She had chronic diarrhea, vomiting, was lethargic, had some blood in her stool, even the shakes and a potential minor seizure one day. She even developed flaky and irritated skin under her armpits and belly. Whenever I'd cook chicken and white rice for my dog, she would get back to normal. However, as I would slowly try to re-introduce the Diamond Naturals kibble back into her bowl, the vomiting, loose stool and diarrhea would return.

I bought 4 cans of Diamond Naturals, thinking it was healthy from the ingredients, etc. I have 5 dogs ranging from small to large. I give tbsp. in dry food for big dogs and tsp. in dry food for little dogs. 4 of my 5 dogs are seniors and 3 of my 4 are small dogs. Dachshund started with diarrhea. Then my 110 lb Shepherd. Then my Chihuahua. Got online and read the reviews on here and called my vet crying! The dogs have only little amounts and maybe 6 meals. Should be ok but I'm nervous now and watching for any signs that it gets worse. Little dogs and senior dogs have harder time recovering, hope I caught it in time before severe issues. So sad to hear all the animals and families suffering from this.

We are show breeders with an impeccable reputation. We have an exclusive ranch with a 3600 sq ft poured dog patio with bordered oak trees and open air pavilion. Our dogs have NO exposure to other dogs, dirt, grass, rodents, etc. When we get contaminated food we know it immediately! Sadly we know of no dog food (expensive or otherwise) that is safe! You go along for a while OK then wham! Aflatoxin, or salmonella, e-coli or other FBI. Vets help the dog, of course but are derelict in getting behind your effort to hold the dog food company liable. The country cries out for - simply - a good quality (USA made and sourced!) dog food that won't injure or kill our dogs!

My Doberman loved this food for a while then started acting different. He had bad gas, runny poop, was eating grass to throw up, started shivering after eating it then developed a lump on his foot. So took him to the vet it appeared to be some kind of allergic reaction and his histamine level was high then noticed he started refusing to eat the food altogether so I researched and surprise I found a lot of people having very similar issues. So I changed his food and now he's eating again and seems like he's getting back to normal. I only hope there's no major health issues caused from that food! Please for the love of your pet DO NOT feed it to them!

I just bought my third bag of this Diamond Natural Large Breed Puppy food. My 6 month old doberman has done very well with the first two 20 lbs bags. He scarfs his 2 cups down within a minute every meal. Until this morning when I opened up a brand new bag of the same Large Breed Puppy food that I bought yesterday from Tractor Supply in Hiram, GA. I was surprised that after 10 minutes, my pup was still chewing slowly. Huh?? Was he sick? Well, I had some leftover food in the pantry from his Humane Society gift bag, so I decided to see if he would eat that to determine if he was sick or if it was the Diamond dog food. He scarfed it down!! So he wasn't sick. There is something wrong with this batch of food... I didn't notice any mold, but my dog does not let his food hit the floor and there were crumbs all around his dish. Tractor Supply refunded my money and I will no longer buy Diamond!

I switched my 8 month old dog from Nutro to Diamond Naturals 6 weeks ago to try and save some money. Big mistake! She tolerated it for a month. She then just quit eating at all! She started vomiting and diarrhea for several days, shaking uncontrollably. I had to carry her outside to vomit and poop. Saddest thing ever!!! I know you're not supposed to just switch without transitioning but I had to! She is back on her Nutro and within a day is significantly better. So glad after reading these reviews I knew immediately it was the food and stopped it. They need to do something about this asap!

DO NOT USE DIAMOND DOG FOOD!!! My husband and I brought home our 2 little Chocolate Labs home on the 18th. We fed them Diamond Puppy Dog Food. They did great for a little while and we bought another bag. They started getting diarrhea and it just kept getting worse. On the 31st I called the vet. He gave them a prescription for colitis and it worked GREAT! They finished up the pills on Friday morning and by Saturday afternoon the diarrhea was back with a vengeance.

I'm begging all who read this. Please, Please, Please... Do Not Feed your dog Diamond Naturals. Our 6 year old healthy rottie started on Diamond Naturals one year ago. Last week I opened a new bag of beef and sweet potato and it nearly killed him!! He began to vomit uncontrollably and nearly went into a seizure! Two trips to the vet in 7 days and a very, very sick rottie, we'll never buy Diamond Naturals again and I very strongly suggest the killer dog food be banished for store shelf's indefinitely!! Shame on you Diamond Naturals!! I'm going to make my dogs food from now on!

I switched from Beneful to Diamond Naturals when Beneful started having complaints. I have fed my pack of 5 dogs Diamond Naturals for the past 3 years with no incident. A month ago I picked up a bag of Diamond Maintenance to give it a try. Within a week, all 5 dogs were vomiting. Two of my dogs had bad seizures within a day of each other (neither had ever had a seizure before). I called my vet and he said to get them off of that bag of food immediately. I did as instructed and the vomiting stopped. I wonder how the production of this food is regulated. It now seems like you can't trust any dog food company now.

I was in the process of switching my 12 year old Lab/Aussie mix to Diamond Naturals Senior Dog Food from Purina Prohealth. I was mixing the food. Since the switch, he has become lethargic, having episodes of about three hours where he can't move and began urinating blood. The vet called in a script for ** and we have since stopped the Diamond and he is back on Proplan. He is doing much better, his urine is becoming clearer, and he is actually getting up and moving a bit. I really think Diamond dog food has made him this sick. He had no issues prior to the switch.

My dogs have had reactions to dog foods in the past. I switched to Diamond Naturals about 2 years ago, problems were resolved. I opened a new bag last week. In a few days both of my dogs have started having skin and eye reactions just like with previous foods. Now that I switched to Taste of the Wild since yesterday, and they seem to be improving. There was definitely an ingredient switch or some kind of error. I liked this dog food, it was a good price for grain-free/low-grain diets. I don't trust to feed this again.

Three weeks ago we got a then 8-week-old Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy from an Illinois breeder. The breeder had been feeding the puppies and their mother Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete and said it was good nutrition for both. When I took the puppy to my vet, she recommended researching further whether that food was actually appropriate for puppies. I emailed the company and the next day they replied to say it was not appropriate, instead recommending their puppy formula.

We started feeding our dog Diamond natural chicken and rice and now he is vomiting and has diarrhea. He is shaking and very weak. I seen this year's ago when we almost lost another dog to the pet food recalls in 2008. Now my big guy doesn't look like he is going to pull through this. Someone needs to shut this pet food company down.

This food made my puppies and momma so sick. It caused vomiting and diarrhea to the point of dehydration. I could have lost them!! We put them on a different food and within days they are all better. Diamond should do something but all they do is lie to the consumer. I will never feed this to my dogs again. I really hope that no one else has to go through what we did.

We have five large dogs. The grand dog is Rott/Husky and the other four are mother (Stafford bull terrier/golden) and three sibs (lab/pit/mastiff/shep, etc). They have been on Diamond Lamb/rice and Chicken/rice for about 9 months now. At first all seemed fine, a couple of the pups have allergy problems and we're told these foods were best. This last fall and winter was not been good tho! Our most susceptible boy started to scratch all over in the fall, followed by the others. Not suspecting the food at all, I began researching other causes. I have put my dogs through every homemade remedy I could find on the internet. Visits to three different vets, months on steroids, etc. NOW when doing a price comparison for Diamond, I find this forum!!

Seems to be quality product. Diabetic dog clinical stage diagnosis. Will know more after the curve test next week but he loves the wet and dry and I hope he can remain on this schedule with diamond.

Off and on dogs get sick, figured it was food but with 10 great Danes, bags get mixed in large container. Have called Diamond a couple times, "oh no problem, food just came from different state maybe", and animals fed different feeds to produce the dog food. Made sense, would refund if we took back to store. Hard to do when mixed & put in big container bags burned. We have lost 3 Great Danes in 2 mos time - 2 were very young (2 & 5). The 3rd one was 9 and had same symptoms as the one who threw up & could not move so we put her down. NOW instead of what vet thought could be, we did not do autopsies. Diamond Nats large breed Chicken & rice is OFF the table. We need to find a new affordable food, IDEAS? Reading these made me sick to my stomach, That we could have been poisoning our dogs, making their deaths unnecessary.

I have fed my boxers this for a couple of years and they have always done great on it. They digested it, their coats looked good, they had tons of energy. But about a two weeks ago I noticed a blister on one dog's lower lip and thought he did something to it and my female dog had scabs on both her sides and I thought they were probably rough housing since they both had some mark on them. Well, the blister remained and the female dog's scabs grew in number overnight. I took her to the vet and she was having a severe allergic reaction to something. I have changed nothing in their diets, have not introduced anything new to them. I looked my other boy over real good tonight and he has a blister on one eye lid. I truly think there is something going on with the dog food. The female dog got a steroid shot today so she will stay on the food, the two boys are coming off it and seeing if they clear up. If they do, she is coming off it too.

I have used Diamond Naturals dog foods for the past three years. My dogs have been very healthy on this product. In November I bought four new bags of food at the same time. We live on a country property and have four dogs. Multiple times in the past two months combinations of different dogs have gotten sick, had diarrhea and have vomited. I did not suspect the dog food. I assumed that our dogs had gotten into something outside or perhaps had a virus. However, they kept getting sick in intervals.

I had been feeding my 9-yr old dog Diamond Whitefish & Sweet Potato food for a long time, but decided to give her the Lamb & Rice for a change, this was in Nov. The dog didn't seem to be very interested in it, but ate it for a couple of days. Then she started throwing up several hours after eating. This vomiting continued for several days, always a few hours after eating. She began refusing her food and I could see she had lost weight. I got a bag of Chicken Soup for The Soul food, also made by Diamond (I didn't know it when I bought it) which she would not eat. I then tried the Taste of the Wild food and still no interest in the food. I took her to the vet who gave her antibiotics and steroid injections and said to give her boiled chicken and rice. She did eat for a couple days and then started eating ravenously, for about a week, probably from the steroid injection.

We have been feeding our dog's Diamond for about 10 years. In the last couple of months one of our dog's got a severe allergy, broke out with hives, severe itching. My son took him for a couple of days and when he came home without being on the food he had started to clear up really well. Within a half an hour of him coming home and eating the hives and severe itching came back worse than ever. If my son hadn't taken him I wouldn't have seen the connection but it was immediate once he came home and ate. I really think something is wrong with the food. We have them on Lamb and Rice. I think someone needs to look into this.

I have been using both varieties of Diamond's Chicken and Lamb varieties for as long as it's been around. I have never had any problems with their food. I breed Shetland Sheepdogs and currently have 10 adult shelties 3-16 yrs of age. I have about 3 litters a year avg 5 pups per litter. I have fed my pups both Chicken Soup for the Soul Small breed puppy and Diamond Naturals Small Breed Puppy which both are chicken based. Chicken Soup is Diamond made also. I will have puppies get diarrhea and believe it or not it's from parasites. And not all parasites are detected at the same time. And, not all parasites are killed with the same medicine. I've dewormed for 3 days then get stool sampled for my baseline results. This is before pups are put on the Diamond food.

I have always bought Diamond Naturals for my dogs and never had any problems with it. My dogs were healthy, looked great and had tons of energy. Recently in the beginning of October I bought their usual 40lb bag of Chicken and Rice formula. I have a 1 and a half year old Mountain Cur and a 6 year old German Shepard/Pit mix.

I have been feeding my dog Diamond Dog Food for about 1-2 months now..Recently about 3 weeks ago after purchasing a New bag of Diamond Dog Food my dog being throwing back up the food after about 30mins of eating it... He got to a point where he stopped eating, drinking and just not being all around his normal self. You could tell something wasn't right.. He went from having diarrhea to being constipated.. We thought it was Parvo at 1st so we took him to the vet. Wasn't Parvo. So after not eating for about 3 days straight he slowly started back to drinking water and then slowly got his appetite back. We began feeding him a different brand of dog food.. He didn't throw it up and he didn't get sick. He actually got better.

I have used Diamond Performance for a long time. My dogs loved it. They looked great on it. However, my male started losing hair and getting hot spots. I took him to the vet and he had to have a steroid shot and allergy shot. His condition never got any better. Brought my female over and fed her two bowls of your dog food. Within 24 hrs of the second bowl, she had a small hot spot pop up. Definitely the food causing it. All 4 dogs I own were broke out with bumps, that itched, and then hot spots. I had to change their food. They are now getting better. I don't know what your company is doing different, but the food needs to be recalled and tested!!! Something isn't right with it!!!

I have been giving my dogs Diamond brand for a long time. Lately I have been wondering if the Diamond Lamb and Rice adult is effecting their health. Don't know for sure, but for some reason I am wondering about the food! I have a boxer and a few weeks ago she weighed 56 lbs and today she weighs 49lbs. and has been diagnosed with liver disease. She has never had a problem with weight loss. She has thrown up and she has had bad gas, and acts like she is so hungry every minute.

We have had our beautiful dog, Carla (a shelter dog we saved as a puppy from being euthanized) for about 11yrs. We have always used different stages of Diamond Dog Food & she has done wonderful & stayed healthy. Now, in the past 12months, we are finding once we get halfway through the bag, no matter where we purchased it from, it has mold in the food. We believe it is coming this way in the bag. Upon getting the bag home, we empty into a container with a lid & have found the mold right after opening. I feel there needs to be a recall if this many bags are coming through our home alone, not to mention all those who aren't noticing & feeding their pets this mold! Thanks for hearing my complaint.

I started my puppy the day we picked her up on Diamond Puppy food. I do not feed her human food. She has been visiting the vet as scheduled for all deworming and shots. At first she experienced some loose bowels and we overlooked it thinking it was because she was starting a new food and going thru the deworming process. But now, 14 wks old, she has had severe gas and liquid diarrhea for 7 days straight. She is not vomiting and there is not blood in her stools. I believe the cause of her illness is due to this Diamond dog food. The manufacturer has to recall this food and get it off the shelves! I am taking my pup to the vet again today to help her. DON'T BUY DIAMOND NATURALS PUPPY. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT.

I have had my dogs on Diamond Naturals for a few weeks. My male dane has always had allergy problems, so I did not connect the itching with the food until my female dane started having problems. My male, has large patches of hair loss on his belly and sides. The female, now has small patches appearing, and their fur is dropping like crazy. I now have them on some home cooked foods and mostly raw. It has been very distressing!

My brother’s ex- Service Dog had IBS. Most dry dog food would give him explosive diarrhea. We tried Purina, Blue, you name it. We got to IAMS Dog Food and he was better. However it made his sister have IBS also. So we held out looking for a good brand that would make none of our 6 dogs and 2 cats ill. Finally we went to our local TSC and found Diamond Brand. It was and is great!

I gradually switched to Diamond Naturals over the past few days. My yellow Lab started having a bit of a stomach upset, gassy and loose stools. By the time I was 100% transitioned to Diamond, she was having diarrhea, vomiting up water, and she smelled absolutely awful. She was also moaning, which she never does. My Shepherd had loose stools and was gassy as well. Heeler mix was fine, but he eats 1/3 of the amount of food the others do. I went out and bought a bag of Pro Plan immediately after reading similar reviews on here. Lab is doing better now. Will never risk my pups' lives on cheaper food again.

I have been giving my dogs (12) chicken and rice for 4 years. Last week we got 2 more bags. Now 2 in the vet. One is in bad shape. 2000.00 in vet bill and still there. The other took him this morning. Going to sue them.

I have 2 dogs, a German shepherd mix who is 8, and a Bernese mountain dog, who is 5. I have been feeding Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice for a few years now and haven't had too many problems, but starting this past July, my Berner started losing weight and didn't want to eat the food anymore. My other dog wasn't crazy about it either.

I started my 6-year-old boxer on red Diamond Dog Food. He loves it!! He's gained weight, bulked out more energy. He does terrific. The price is very reasonable. I've tried other dog foods. No comparison. Glad we switched to red Diamond.

I tried Diamond Food because Steve Regan store recommend it! It read great on the label! I started it and My Standard Poodle died, then my girls got loose yellow stools and we're not doing well! Now, I know it was on recall, it had Salmonella! That is why my girls had loose yellow stools that's smelled horrible and it killed my boy! That was a thousand dollar dog it killed! It was devastating to me! So then I had to buy another boy and not sure this cute boy will ever be what the other boy was! I am still upset over it! I then changed the girls to wholesome from IFA and over night they firmed up the stench is gone! But still not sure they are as active as before! I wonder what damage was done to them!

My 12 week old puppy was on Blue buffalo puppy food for 3 weeks. My husband just got a puppy and he wanted me to switch my puppy to his puppys Diamond Naturals food because he was told it was the best. My puppy being on it for 5 days now is having severe diarrhea and is not as playful. My daughter said to get him off of that it's bad. We just took him off today because I feel he is lifeless and not happy. Lets hope this is the end. He is now back on Blue buffalo and pumpkin to help ease his belly.

Diamond dog food almost killed my 3 month old puppy - Just purchased a new puppy over a month ago. The Diamond Dog Nature's Domain puppy formula (Chicken and Rice) came highly recommended by the breeder. It's labeled as a 'generic' brand for Taste of the Wild. We were excited for the new puppy and wanted the best for him, so we decided to purchase the bag at Costco. For over a month, the puppy has had many problems, runny stools (green, slimy), nonstop diarrhea, stench. For past 3 days, he became lethargic, vomited numerous times, and refused to drink or eat anything. Our playful puppy no more. Once again we rushed him to the vet and after numerous stool samples, IV fluids, probiotics, antibiotics, anti-nausea meds, etc, it was determined that the food was making him sick. It cost us multiple hundreds of $.

We bought Diamond puppy formula food for our 8 week old puppy. She had loose stool when we got her (breeder used the same kind). Tried to isolate the problem, and it was her food. My I year old daughter brought me a small BOLT that looked like one of the pieces mixed in with the food! I do not recommend this for your dogs, and suggest the company raises their standards, so they can stop putting out this crap! Diamond: get your stuff together!!

My dogs are 4 and 7 both in excellent health. The youngest is full pit and the other a mix. I purchased a bag of Diamond Naturals lamb and rice last Friday 8/19/2016. They have both been on this this food for several years. By Sunday Jack - the youngest - was very lethargic and in a daze. He was drinking but refused to eat unless hand fed. My other dog stopped eating Sunday but had no other symptoms. Jack continued to be in a daze, almost not recognizing us, no energy at all, could barely get off the floor. He seemed better Monday afternoon, but relapsed again Tuesday. Upon researching food recalls I hit the jackpot and found this site. We immediately got new food and he began to eat this afternoon. His glands are very swollen and I am hoping that any damage is repairable. We are waiting for blood work.

I buy the Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice for my cat and my dog and my daughter's two dogs. Three weeks ago my cat broke out in horrible hives and started losing his hair and hind end. He's so bad now he has no control over bladder, has lost lots of weight and is going crazy with itching. All three dogs have loose stools and two have moderate itching while the bigger dog the third one has huge sores, no bladder control, losing hair, and is losing his mind over the itch. Wouldn't have thought food except about 150 other dogs are suffering same symptoms and some have died eating the diamond naturals. So this is no coincidence. Something has happened in the facility that makes packages and distributes this food. Several have been sold at Menards all over Michigan.

I've had my American bulldog on the diamond naturals beef and sweet potato for about a year and a half. I moved from colorado to Illinois in February and when I ran out of the food from colorado in March, I re loaded. He began showing signs of food allergy that I have see. Before, but also the seasons changed so I thought it wasn't the grasses. Finally went to the vet and was told bacterial infection. While treating this, I gave him boiled potatoes, tuna, broccoli, coconut/fish oil. It cleared up, but halfway through the next bag, it flared up again. I can only deduce the incessant scratching from something in the food led to the infection. Reading the post about the English bulldog with oozing sores only gave me more empirical evidence to support my claim. I believe blue buffalo comes from the SE factory in south Carolina, and merely repackaged in different bags. Blue buffalo had a recall the same time I started fighting this - coincidence? I think NOT!!!

I have fed my 5 year old yorkie Diamond Naturals chicken dog food for the past 3 years or more. With the last bag I purchased, my dog began itching badly and scratching. She also has clumps of visible dandruff, mucus in her stool, vomiting, and hair loss. It is definitely the food because she has had no other changes and isn't rating like she normally would. Heading out right now to buy something else for my poor girl to eat. She is acting pitiful.

We have been using Diamond dog food for 4 years, and have had nothing bad to say about the food. It's been a great food for a reasonable price. However, our most recent bag has caused issues. Our dog only had a cup and half of the new bag and experienced diarrhea while we were at work (she has only done this when sick). Nothing else changed that would cause this. We quickly switched to another brand of food and haven't had any issues. We contacted Diamond and they said: "We are not experiencing any recalls or clusters of concern on any of our products at this time." We are worried about going back to Diamond.

I'm having problems with my dog. He is really sick and I'm wondering why all the bad reviews are crossed off. Been to the vet 2 times and he is still sick after antibiotics and steroids. I got up this morning and found vomit in his crate. It looks like it has blood in it. Instead of hiding the problem address it and fix it.

I am writing this review to let others know what happened to my dogs after eating this food. I bought a bag to switch foods because the other brand I was using started making smaller bags and the price went up. So I did some research and read a lot of reviews and thought that Diamond Naturals was a good choice. Unfortunately 2 of my 4 dogs became ill shortly after starting this food. I have 2 German shepherds, a coonhound and a mixed breed dog. The two German shepherds are the ones who got sick and the other 2 tolerated the food. I started out very slowly mixing the new food in with the old and noticed one shepherd started having diarrhea, vomiting, became lethargic, lost her appetite, was extremely gassy and had a horrible smell whenever she was near me.

We have two American Stafford Terriers (pit bulls). One is about 7 years and the other is about 8 years old. We have fed this brand of dog food in the same formula for their entire lives. The last bag was bought about two weeks ago and since the younger dog will not eat the food and was losing weight. The older dog ate but had extreme loose stool and losing ability to control peeing. I went to the closest store and bought Purina Natural dog food and came home and put just a handful in their dish on top of the Diamond. They went after the Purina like they were starving but would not touch the Diamond.

We purchased Diamond Puppy food from Menards in Traverse City, MI June 29th, 2016. It was my prior understanding that Diamond was a "better" dog food so we decided to switch our new puppy to this brand without doing the research. We fed him 3 bowls of food over the next couple of days. Over the Fourth of July weekend - he became so incredibly ill he would barely stand up. He had vomited in his kennel overnight and we bathed him - he proceeded to get more sick and his skin was inflamed, oozing and he smelled like a rotting dead animal. It was the most horrific stench coming from our pup. By the time my husband and I had thought back on the events & timing of his sickness we immediately knew it was his new food. Theo is our fourth English Bulldog and we have never seen this before.

I purchased my first bag of Diamond Naturals Chicken and Rice after my dogs stopped eating the Rachael Ray's brand. They didn't exactly like it but ate it reluctantly little by little. After 1 1/2 weeks, their hair started falling out and they have been itching non-stop. They are miserable!! They are throwing up and have bad gas. Their hair is all matted because of their excessive chewing and licking. It's pathetic. There is something wrong with this dog food!!! They need to recall it and get it off the shelves!! I didn't realized that the hair loss and vomiting could have been linked to the food until I started reading these reviews, now it all makes perfect sense. I have switched them to a different dog food but they still won't eat. I will try boiling chicken like the other reviews have. I hope they bounce back.

Last weekend bought the dog a new bag of Diamond Natural food. This weekend he is in the hospital on fluid therapy trying to fix the infection in his body. I can't definitively say that the food is the entire cause but this is a healthy dog, 7 years old with no previous problems. The timing of the new bag of food and the comments left recently by others make me wonder what damage has been done from this food. Be aware.

I have read other people's reviews and found they had the exact same experience with their dogs that I had. My dog got very ill from the food and he died on June 8, 2016. There are too many similarities between all of the other stories from the people who have commented here. There should have been a recall. If the company had done the right thing, none of these dogs would have gotten sick or died. I hope others see these comments before it's too late.

We recently switched to Diamond Naturals for our 2 boxers, boxer pit bull mix and shih tzu. It wasn't long after the switch our oldest boxer began having terrible diarrhea and vomiting. He stopped eating totally. After numerous rounds of Kaopectate he finally acted like he got better. A couple of days later he had the same symptoms all over again. After nursing him back to what we thought was health after going through spells over the course of a couple of week he died four days later.

My 2 dogs have gone between Taste of the Wild and Diamond Naturals (Lamb or Beef), but in the last year, I kept them on the beef or lamb. 3 weeks ago, a friend needed to order something via Amazon and it was under the amount for free, next day delivery, so I told her to add a 40 LB bag to the order on my behalf. She ordered chicken, which I had not fed to my dogs.

Bought a 4 year-old Toy Poodle from a breeder in Michigan in January 2015. She told me she just started feeding her females DIAMOND Naturals Puppy Food and they "love it". So I continued Lucy on it when I got her home. I bred her in July 2015 and mid September she had 5 pups. The last born was a female with a congenital defect. Her vulva/vagina was not closed and was located high up near the anus, which the latter was almost invisible. She also was a hermaphrodite with a residual penis inside her and possibly retained testicles.

Purchased Diamond Naturals extreme athlete on 5/17/2016 from Menards. By the morning of 5/20 my Vizsla was not eating or drinking and appeared very ill. On 5/21 severe diarrhea with some blood developed. First trip to the vet on 5/23 for anti-diarrheal and anti-biotic $200. No change by 5/25, second trip blood test and x-ray, plus steroid $200. No change. In reading the other review we observed a change in breath odor when we switched a year ago but did not connect it to the dog food. Based on the timing and other reports, I feel this is very closely linked to the new bag of dog food.

I have a little Bichon/Shih Tzu mix that has eaten this dog food Diamond Naturals Small Breed Chicken and Rice for the majority of his life so far (7). He has always done well on this food and it is rated above average. I recently purchased a new bag of food, fed him two days with it and had him vomiting the 2 days' contents from his stomach and developing loose stools. He was very ill. I took him to the vet and 175 dollars later he is on the mend. I returned the bag to Menards where it was purchased. I will switch him to another brand of dog food. My large labradoodle eats the large breed chicken and rice formula. I will switch her too when her current food is gone. After this event, I no longer will trust Diamond with my pets' nutrition.

I have been feeding Diamond for about 15 years. Never had any digestion problems. I was asked about the dog food and the lymphoma he had, really got me thinking. I have had 2 dogs that I lost to lymphoma. Both ate Diamond, one his whole life and the other since he was about 3 (different breeds). I have 2 full bags of adult food and a full bag of puppy chow for the puppy I'm getting next week, a relative of the dog I just lost. Switching I think is in the near future!!!

When I first bought my Cane Corso, he was eating Puppy Chow. His fur was very coarse. Transitioned him to Diamond Naturals Large Puppy food. Within a week, his fur is a beautiful shiny black brindle. He doesn't eat as much as he would the Puppy Chow, but we have noticed how big he has grown. He's not filling himself with chemicals and byproducts that are harmful. He is able to digest his food really well. No vomiting or diarrhea. He is a 10 week old mastiff, so he has his usual stamina. I really don't think you can complain (as I have seen in other reviews) about your dog having more energy. I haven't noticed any breath issues either. I also feed this to my 7 yr old beagle, who has a cleft palate problem and can't eat large/hard food. I have had the same outcome with her as I have with my mastiff. The same as Blue Buffalo, 1/2 the cost.

I switched my Golden Retriever to Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice approx 3 months ago. I noticed his breath started smelling really bad about 1 month after switching. I took him to his vet and had his teeth checked and cleaned. His breath is still bad. Now after another month on this food he has started having bad gas. He has never had gas before and is 6 yrs old. I have also tried different foods before and none caused a change in his breath or gas except Diamond. After reading many reviews I believe this food is the cause of his problems. When at the vet he also had blood work done to see if there was anything causing the bad breath and gas. Nothing was noted to be wrong with him. I have discontinued feeding him Diamond and will wait a few weeks and report whether or not he is back to normal. I have an almost full 40 pound bag of Diamond and have spent $45 on it. It appears Diamond does not respond to customers' concerns.

I too had UTI issues with my pups. A year ago I had my goldendoodle on this product and had major issues with UTI's and multiple vet visits. After I switched him off this food and of course treated for the UTI's I didn't have the problem anymore. A year later - now - I had a german shepherd puppy I thought it might have been just the goldendoodle having his own personal issues with dealing with certain foods so I would give Diamond naturals large breed puppy another try. Sure enough! German shepherd female puppy ended up developing UTI as well! I contacted Diamond directly about this issue as I do not feel its a coincidence for both puppies of mine developing UTI's off the same product at the same age once I switched them to it.

Bought a new bag of Diamond Natural dog food 2 weeks ago. Exp date is for Nov 2016. My 3 dogs have all been acting sickly, the pug had horrible diarrhea that smelled like something had died!!! The boxer has had the most problems. He is vomiting, coughing with gagging, licking paws, eating grass, bad BAD gas! We fed him boiled chicken with noodles. He was doing a little better, so he ate his dog food the next day, and again the symptoms came back. Nothing has changed in their environment. It's obvious to us that the dog food is the issue. Started googling, found many comments with the same issues. After seeing others' comments about vets not finding anything in blood samples, not taking them to vet, just yet. We are no longer feeding our fur babies this food and pray they recover without serious problems.

We've stopped feeding our German Shepherd puppy this food since the vet diagnosed him with a severe UTI. Too high of phosphorus and magnesium levels he said, and he recommended we switch immediately. Also, our puppy had way more energy than he knew what to do with and it was making him (and us!) crazy. We exercised him 3 and 4 times a day and he could never sit still. I've never experienced this with any of my other dogs, including two other Shepherds. Runny stools, hyperactive, UTI... I wouldn't recommend this dog food to anyone. I wonder if any of the sick dogs mentioned in previous reviews have been tested for a UTI?

I put our two large breed purebreds on Diamond over a year ago. I had talked to other owners that used it and were pleased. However, recently I have noticed changes with my dogs. First I noticed my Cane Corso was getting finicky about eating her food and when she did finally eat it, she would be very gassy. She is also licking her paws and losing weight. I have also noticed her stool is not firm but rather loose. Three mornings ago, I noticed my German Shepherd had vomited his food (3rd time in a month). Then when he went out his stool was loose as well.

Purchased two bags of Diamond Naturals Small breed lamb and rice dog food. Fed the first bag, and noticed that my three year old dog began licking all of his paws. Vet said this was an allergy. I did not think too much about that. However, when I opened the second bag, a day or so afterwards, my dog began having severe diarrhea, stomach cramping, and finally vomiting. Finally put two and two together and know that the dog food must have contained salmonella as many others have described on ConsumerAffairs. Just left the vet paying $240. The doctor agreed that the dog had all of the symptoms of salmonella. My dog had his exam three weeks ago and the doctor bragged on how healthy that he is/was and should live to be 15+. There is no replacement for my beloved dog. Hope he recovers. Shame on you Diamond!!

Do you know what is worse than a sick dog? Two sick dogs. My dogs have never had an issue with any food before. They are 9 and 7 yrs old. I feed this to them a few weeks ago and they both had loose stool. I tried it again and now it is terrible with the watery stool and bad vomiting. If they are not better tomorrow we will have to go to the vet. They have to be getting dehydrated. What is in this stuff? Has anyone been contacted from this company or gotten their money back? How can a company continue to sell pet food that can do this?

We've been feeding the maintenance to our lab for over 4 years, until recently, we have never had an issue. We just purchased a new bag and that night he started vomiting. He has refused his food, which he has NEVER done before. We thought he wasn't well, took him to a vet, they didn't find anything, but we finally wondered if we got a bad batch of food -- tried a different food and surprise, surprise, his appetite is back. But when we set down a bowl of diamond, he again refused it. We're done. That was an expensive bag of food and a valuable lesson.

I have used the brand my vet recommended. After doing some research & speaking with my son, I decided to try some different brands. I am also feeding a wet food mixed with the kibbles once a day, for dinner. I believe the vets are paid by the food companies to promote their brand of food. The brand they promote may not be the only "good food" to feed. I always look at the content of the food to make sure there are no additives. I don't feed a measured amount each day as my dog is not a "snacker". He eats when he is hungry. He loves the kibble & wet food.

Large Breed Lamb and Rice adult dog food - We have fed this to our dogs for several years. Monday I purchased a new bag from TSC and fed our 3 dogs dinner. By 2 am Tuesday, one dog became very ill, with horrible diarrhea and vomiting. I took her to the vet at 8 am, and her fecal test was normal, and the giardiasis test was negative. Vet prescribed anti nausea meds, and a chicken and rice diet. She began to improve.

I began feeding my bloodhound puppy this food. There were no problems with the first bag. However, with the second bag, my dog began vomiting (4 times over two days that I am aware of). Then he refused to eat it. I filed a complaint online and called the store where I bought the food to no avail. This bag of food cost $45.00. I quit feeding it to my puppy and tried feeding it to my coonhound, who has a gut of iron. She got sick as well, so I am sitting on a useless and expensive bag of dog food that the company has not taken responsibility for. Now that I have quit feeding it all dogs are fine. A dog trainer I know says a Diamond food gave her dog e. coli, and I think this is what was wrong with my puppy. Clearly this company does not police its ingredient sources and I recommend against it.

My seven year old Golden Retriever was eating Diamond Chicken and Rice Large Breed food for six years. Nine or ten months ago, the bag changed, and so did my dog. Her stool began to be very mucous-cased, and then yellow and foamy. Because she had allergies to corn and artificial colors, she was never allowed any people food -- only her Diamond food. I took her to the vet in May, but her blood work came back clear. By the end of June she experienced a night of projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea. Again, the labs came back fine, and home-cooked chicken and rice for several weeks gave her some strength back. I buried my beautiful Golden on Monday, Nov. 2, 2016. Liver failure. She was one month past her eighth birthday. I spoke with Diamond's veterinarian twice over the past three months and begged them to fix the problem with the food, but they maintain there is no problem. I cannot recommend this food brand.

He actually eats it, and it's grain free. He looks fantastic, and there are a bunch of grain-free flavors I can mix up. I don't want to eat the same thing every day. I suspect the dog thinks the same. Currently, he's eating a mixture of two bags: chicken with sweet potato and beef. He seems satisfied and happy!

I have three cocker spaniels. Teddy is 7, Ellie is 8 and Cassie is a rescue that I just adopted in May. She is 14. I buy Diamond Lite Lamb and Rice, very healthy dog food. Teddy and Ellie love it and are very healthy and have lost weight on this food. The real miracle is Cassie. When I got her, I thought she didn't have much time left to her life. She was disinterested in anything going on and ignored the other dogs. She barely moved and spent a lot of time sleeping. After only three months of eating this food, she is jumping around like a puppy. She runs all over the yard and through the house. She follows Teddy around and wants to do whatever he is doing. I attribute this change in her behavior to the natural products in the dog food. I wrote to Diamond to let them know. They appreciated my input.

Good value. Use the High Energy Blend which provides a good source of protein as well. I have German Shepherds which are working dogs that have plenty of ground to cover. Like other brands with better ingredients just not a viable option when you can get 10 pounds more for a little less than half the price.

I have used the Diamond Brand, Lamb and rice. My dog has always had a sensitive stomach. Overall he does well on it. He looks good, plenty of energy and Vet appointments always ok. A year ago or so they changed the bag color, and maybe food contents as he had the runs for a week or so. Been ok since.

I use Senior Diamond brand. I have 2 small old dogs. They need the smaller size kibble. And they seem to tolerate this brand. It's expensive to me. But I buy the largest bag available to save $$. I have to add a soft crumbled up treat to the food or juice if I have it.

My 3 month old German shorthair pointer became ill after eating Diamond naturals large breed puppy food after 2 weeks eating it. I was impressed with the ingredients and the price so I switched him to it because the PetSmart brand I was feeding him was becoming too costly. His stools were always soft while eating it and I thought that was okay. Then after 2 weeks he developed very loose stool with mucus blobs in it, then it became every hour liquid. After 2 days off his food, giving him Kaopectate, Pedialyte, pumpkin and rice he was having normal poop. I fed him twice his food again and that evening after his second feeding he had once again soupy diarrhea. Obviously it's the dog food. I found this site and all the other stories are so similar.

I have given my dog 50% Diamond dog 50% prescription Science Diet for year and as of Aug decided to just go with the Diamond Naturals since Zorro did not have allergies from it... Since then he has gotten very sick. He has been to the Vet and has a clean bill of health including blood work and two complete physicals in 6 months, however he has developed no appetite for this food, severe Diarrhea and has lost 20 lb and cannot hardly walk. The Vet cannot find anything wrong but the store where we got the food appeared that the Diamond food was pulled from the shelf so we checked this site and found lots of others dealing with this issue... Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong with this food and how to save my dog... We have put him on prescription dog food but he is still not doing well. I cannot yet confirm it is the food but the story line sure fits the other complaints.

I started feeding my Golden Doodle but he didn't have any problems for two weeks. But after two weeks, he started having loose stools. We got his fecal done and everything was negative. We put him on bland diet and after two days he got better. We slowly started giving him Diamond Naturals food again. He started having loose stools throughout the night. I didn't suspect the food but he was on bland diet for a whole week. We started giving him dry food again but this time we are giving him a different brand but I still have big bag of Diamond Naturals food. So I am slowly increasing the amount but as soon as I started giving him Diamond again, he is showing signs of problems. At this point, I am sure it is Diamond Naturals food that is causing the problems. Looks like I need to throw out Diamond Naturals and give him only high quality food.

I purchased a 40 lb bag of Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy dog food last week for my 6-month old Collie. The item was on sale at Pet Supplies Plus and I decided to give it a try. It was an enormous mistake and one I regret dearly. I was not aware of the past Diamond pet food problems with its products making pets sick back in 2012 and 2006. I only found out after doing research online. There are numerous other pet owners with similar issues after their pets ate Diamond brand dog food.

I was feeding my puppy Diamond Dog Food because it said all natural and ingredients seemed better than most. He was doing okay for a while, but then he started having bloody stools and loose runny stools. He was also having urination problems. I think the toxic food was building up so much in his system he was losing control of his little bladder. He had never peed on me before and then twice in one week he peed on me and it was like he didn't even know it!!! He would pee in little spots a lot. I took him to the vet and after X-rays and blood work. $$$$$$ later Vet couldn't find anything so recommended me to change his food.

I have 4 dogs: a 5 month old German Shepherd, a 6 YO Bloodhound, 7 YO English Bulldog, and a 16 YO Shih-Tzu. Right after getting our youngest, the German Shepherd, we switched to Diamond dog food. The shepherd started throwing up shortly after but we thought it may just be the change in food, new home, etc. Then our shih-Tzu started getting lethargic. We thought it was due to age. Our Bulldog then started getting very sick, stopped eating, diarrhea, lethargic. Then he started throwing up too. Even projectiling at times. His throw up was very weird in color, not stomach acid. Once again, we thought he was getting sick due to having spina bifida for all his life and he's just getting worse. Then one night 3 dogs threw up including the healthy bloodhound. Hello. Light bulbs...... the food?

After I was reading all of these comments, now it made all sense to me why my baby was suffering with all these symptoms and my vet couldn't even figure it out. I have a German pinscher that was feeding Purina and he was doing great until one day I walked in pet supermarket and saw the Diamond food - a 40 pound bag for 40.00. I thought wow this is a good deal and the sales guy made it sound it was a very good food high quality so I thought well let me give it a shot.

I really like Diamonds Naturals lamb and rice formula. I have a 6 year old Rottweiler, a 4 year old lab and a 6 month old corgi. The older dogs have been on the lamb and rice formula for about 4 years now. We have never had any issues with diarrhea or vomiting on this recipe as others have posted. My dogs are very healthy and have nice shiny coats. With that being said, a couple of months ago the store was all out of the lamb and rice formula, so we grabbed a bag of the chicken and rice thinking nothing of it. Both dogs had severe diarrhea while on the chicken recipe. When the store had the lamb and rice formula back in, we put them back on that recipe and haven't had any issues since. Not sure why they didn't do well on the chicken formula. Still really like the lamb formula.

Dogs are becoming seriously ill from this poison. Look at the other posts to view similar experiences by dog owners who have fed this food to their dogs only to have horrible side effects: diarrhea, vomiting, excessive shedding, burns at mouth and tail. Our sweet golden retriever was torn apart by this poison. How do we get this investigated and off the market?

My daughter has a "Great Dane" which is 9 months old and has been on Diamond brand dog food since she was old enough to eat it. Never had any issues with this brand until now. On August 29, 2015 my daughter purchased a new bag of Diamond Naturals "Large Breed Puppy" food from Tractor Supply in Rock Hill SC. The same day we fed the dog, within 2 hours she developed diarrhea. The diarrhea persisted, she would not drink water and we became concerned. We did not feed her anymore of the Diamond food and started feeding her chicken and rice which helped control her bowels but did not stop the diarrhea and bloody stools.

I have a 10 yr. old Boston Terrier mix and a 3 yr. old Pit bull. We've been feeding them Diamond Naturals (alternating the flavors) for years with no problems. Then about a month ago, I bought a new bag of Extreme Athlete. They both started having diarrhea, the Pit bull’s had blood in it. Took them to vet, they suspected colitis, but tested negative for parasites. Got antibiotics and told to feed them boiled chicken and rice.

I am having the exact experiences as these other posters. My dog was put on Diamond Naturals within the past week, and within a day or two started throwing up and then had bloody diarrhea. Stay away from this food at all costs.

Our 8-year old Yorkie has been on Diamond Small Breed Adult dog food for the majority of her life. She almost died (lethargic, shallow breathing, stopped eating and drinking) this past weekend after starting a new bag of food. Nothing else in her environment changed and she is never alone where she could come in contact with anything else. We found a partial, older bag of food, watered it down, fed her, and she started showing improvement. It appears she was poisoned by the new bag of food. Fortunately our vet feels she will make a full recovery. Needless to say, we will be changing dog food companies.

I just started feeding my Rottweiler, 1 1/2 years old, and my Pitbull, 5 1/2 years old, Diamond Naturals beef meal and rice formula. They both had persistent diarrhea for the past two weeks. I was searching, thinking maybe it was being caused by something else since Diamond dog food, I thought, was pretty high quality. But after reading all these reviews with similar circumstances I'm quite disappointed and will be discontinuing feeding them this brand.

I have 2 Siberian Huskies that are 5 years old. Littermates to be exact. In 5 years, neither have ever EVER been ill. Have been loyal to the brand since day one. However, back in April, one of my boys, one, was ill. Mucus in his stool, refusing his food. After a FULL work up at my vet, nothing was wrong, medically. 12 days of Bland diet, and $400 later, he seemed fine. Fast forward to today. Both of my boys had the mucus in the soft stool, refusing the food. On August 14th, we visited the vet, full work up, on each. To no avail, nothing medically came back.

My 14 week old chihuahua puppy has never done better on any food. We've had no problems since we switched her 4 weeks ago. Before Diamond Naturals she was on Blue Buffalo and was constantly having diarrhea and itching but now she's a happy healthy puppy. We'll never use any other food.

The issue of diarrhea associated with Diamond Naturals is more complex than previous reviewers have reported. We have been feeding our 5 1/2 Y/O chocolate Lab Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice for several years. Always bought from a farm feed dealer in Boerne Texas whose knowledge of feeds is extensive. Never any problems. A few weeks ago we purchased the same dog food - Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice from a Tractor Supply dealer in Granville NY (upstate). The dog developed diarrhea on the Diamond, cleared off it, then developed diarrhea again when we put her back on. Now she is on a different brand. I suggest that it is not the particular dog food which is making the trouble, but rather that there is a problem with a particular feed mill producing feed for some parts of the country.

My 3 year old dog has been on Diamond Naturals her whole life. Recently, Diamond changed the packaging and I assume they must have changed the recipe. We opened a new bag and within a day, our dog had diarrhea. At the time, I did not put 2 and 2 together and just thought she picked something up at the dog park. It happened that I had to place her in a kennel while on vacation. There, she was a different brand and had no problems. Upon returning home and eating Diamond again, she again got diarrhea. Additionally, she was extremely thirsty. I am very upset after reading the number of problems posted on this website. I was lucky to identify the problem so quickly. Why isn't someone doing something about this???

I have a 6 month old Cane Corso. Been feeding him Diamond Naturals large breed puppy food since 8 weeks old. He has had diarrhea and vomits every other day. He itches and had allergy type symptoms continuously. Eyes constantly make mucous and always sounds stuffy and full of mucous. I just thought he had bad allergies! Never dawned on me that his food was making him sick. I feel so bad! Poor baby has never even known how it feels to feel good, being that I've only feed him this food since weaning! I went and bought the Sam's exceed chicken and rice adult dog food brand. I hope it works out ok for him. He ate some tonight and he sounds so much better already. I hope he gets better quickly.

Our Chocolate Lab has had constant diarrhea. We have had him for almost a year. The breeder fed him Diamond Puppy, so we kept feeding him this food. I blamed his diarrhea on my husband switching him to the Diamond High Energy formula. He started losing weight, so I bought the Diamond Endurance because it had more calories. He has continued to have the diarrhea, and just recently he broke out in a rash. We first thought it was ringworm, but our inside Yorkie didn't have it, and none of us had it.

My dog has been on Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy for two weeks now and has nothing but diarrhea and extremely bad gas and now has started to throw up. Needless to say I think there is something really wrong here. With all the reviews I am seeing we will not be feeding her this brand ever again!

We purchased a Siberian Husky at the age of 2 months. We started him on Diamond Naturals puppy food. In the beginning he ate it just fine. He had diarrhea for about a month probably just getting used to the formula. Soon after that his stools were loose about every other day. Some days he didn't want to eat. He would throw up bile at least once a week. He drank more Pedialyte than he did eat dog food. We went through a few months of this and when he was 6 months old we switched to Diamond Naturals adult formula.

My daughter's Havanese puppy is 8 months old. We have been feeding him Diamond small breed food ever since we brought him home. He was healthy and everything was fine. We bought a huge bag and it lasted for quite a while. We finally ran out and bought a new bag last week. Right after we bought it, he started becoming very gassy. Then he started having diarrhea. Yesterday, he began vomiting. Today, he vomited twice! The only thing we could think of was the new bag of food we just bought him.

I have 6 Cavalier King Charles spaniels and two large breed dogs. I fed a high-quality grain free food for all their lives until about a year ago when I switched to Diamond Naturals Chicken and Rice. It had excellent ratings on a popular dog food site and it would save me considerable money over what I have been feeding so I figured if it was just as good, why not feed it? The problems I noticed were with coat, body condition and irritation/allergic type problems. More so than digestive (though there were some issues there as well).

We changed from Science Diet to Diamond dog food less than a month ago, and all of our dogs have developed diarrhea. I would recommend spending the extra money and getting a good quality dog food, because this dog food its a joke. It isn't worth dehydrating your dogs just to save a couple of bucks. I wish I could give a lower rating than one star. It doesn't even deserve that!

I have a new puppy and we are feeding him Diamond Puppy food since weaning. He has had watery, bloody stools for five days now. He also has a dull coat and constantly scratches from itching. Took him to the vet two days ago and stools are no better. He is healthy otherwise (no parvo, worms, etc.) The vet put him on medication, but it isn't helping so I will be changing his food immediately. I see I am not the only one with issues. I am concerned that with all of the reported problems, there is something terribly wrong with this food. The manufacturer of this food needs to find out immediately what is causing so many problems. I hope this food is soon removed from the market. Something is bad wrong here.

I am so upset and hurt that I continued to feed my dog this food without doing the research! They have both experienced the diarrhea issue and the itching & their fur has become dull. I had been eliminating anything else ex: treats and weekly egg from their diets but still have had issues! I hope it's not too late for them.

Made dog horribly sick a couple of years ago. I wish I had heard about the lawsuits. I took him to 4 different vets and he almost died. Got better when food was switched. This was AFTER the recalls. When I called the company they were not responsive at all and told me it was impossible they had another contaminant. These guys don't care...

My new 2-year-old had diarrhea when I fed her Diamond Dog Food. When my daughter came with two larger dogs they also developed diarrhea. After feeding a different brand all three dogs had solid stools. They need to recall this dog food before a dog becomes very ill.

I recently began switching my 1 year old female Dutch Shepherd over to Diamond Naturals and within three feedings at only 30% Diamond she developed extreme diarrhea to the point of extremely bloody liquid stools! I will contacting the company immediately as well as all retailers in my area! Diamond should be beyond ashamed of themselves!! This product is VERY Harmful!!!

I have a ten-week old chihuahua puppy. I am transitioning off of Diamond (the breeder's choice) and on to Origins. I'm switching because he has very dry, itching skin..

My girlfriend and I have fed Diamond Naturals for many months with no problems. Between us, we have 7 dogs ranging in age from 2 months to over 14 years, including a 2 year old Boxer that is pregnant. After feeding the 7 dogs their Diamond Naturals with no problems, my girlfriend contacted me this morning that one dog had developed lameness in his rear end and was rolling around groaning in pain (as well as diarrhea), two other dogs had developed diarrhea, and the remaining dogs had developed unusually soft stool. In reading the reviews from this website, I am highly upset with myself for EVER feeding this gruel. I have contacted the company, as well as ALL retailers in this area, and have been VERY vocal about this problem. My girlfriend and I have agreed we will NEVER feed this gruel again and would rather go hungry than EVER consider buying Diamond brand products again.

I found a half inch silver tack in my dog's food bowl last night when feeding dinner. If he had eaten that, the damage would have killed him. I'm so very, very pissed off. I'm warning everyone about this. One of my friend's found 2 screws in her dog’s food. Boycott Diamond dog foods!

I contacted the company about my puppy's reaction to the food. The phone waits were lengthy but eventually I was put through to a vet. She listened, was helpful, arranged for QA tests on the food and phoned me with the results today. I think the company has been very responsive.

I switched 2 years ago from Purina to Diamond's Natural Dry Dog Food thinking I was helping my dogs live longer. I started seeing horrible runny stools with my dogs about a year ago. In January we adopted a GSD and when he started eating the dog food along with my other 2 dogs he too developed diarrhea and itching. I Googled the problem just last week and it said possibly the food. I had taken my oldest dog to the vet because of her itchy skin problem even. Even my Chihuahua was developing the same symptoms. I have had her over a year but she didn't eat much of the dry food. Not like the big dogs who were around 5 cups or more a day.

I recently switched my dog's food to Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice about 4 weeks ago. At first, my dog began having loose stools and and her bowel movements increased from 2x a day to 3-5x a day. Her stomach began grumbling every day and she became extremely gassy. I thought these symptoms were caused from making a switch in her diet, even though it was gradual. After 4 weeks of eating solely Diamond dog food, my dog started vomiting profusely and had diarrhea which had a lot of mucus in most of her movements.

My dog has had diarrhea for two weeks now, no change in food. After researching I see that I am not the only pet owner experiencing problems. Shame on Diamond Pet food, this isn't their first incident.

We adopted a 1 year old puppy a little over a month ago. He was always fed 4 Health dog food but they don't offer that brand at our local pet store. So, we asked an employee what they recommended. They told us Diamond Naturals were the way to go. I'm a very health conscious person so I read through the ingredients very carefully and decided it was an okay food to feed my precious puppy. I gradually switched him on the lamb and rice formula. I noticed his bm's were softer, slightly more frequent and kind of yellowish colored. I figure he was just adjusting to the new food or got into something he shouldn't have.

We got a Great Pyrenees puppy in February. She came on Diamond puppy food so we didn't change it. She has had loose stools and constant scratching and biting of her skin ever since we got her. After reading the reviews we discovered it was her food! She's been tested by the vet for everything and has good health so no reason for her symptoms... Diamond products should be pulled from sales period! Just happy we learned this now and can change it before she gets super sick.

Buy Diamond's Chicken and Rice formula by the pallet. No problems until the last purchase in March 2015, when they allegedly added probiotics. Have seven dogs. Two so far developed wicked diarrhea. Given the countless complaints on this website alone, Diamond food is the culprit here. What company would risk their reputation with these problems? Do the right thing Diamond, man up. Recall the product at a minimum.

I bought two bags of this on Amazon at a great price and I thought it was a quality dog food. I have 3 large dogs, so I have to watch the cost of food. I started adding a small amount to their regular food and noticed a lot of gas coming from them on the first day. The second day after adding more to their regular food (I mixed for 5 days) I noticed their stools softening just a bit. This got progressively worse the more new food I introduced. Their normal BM schedule is 2 times a day. This changed to 3 or 4, some occurring in the house. I notified Amazon and they issued a full refund and told me to either dispose of the food or donate it. I cannot in good conscience donate this food to the Humane Society. I'm switching them back to Nature's Recipe full strength today, and I hope they recover quickly.

Towards end of last bag (1st of April), Golden Retriever pup (16 months old) began vomiting occasionally, thought it was from grass or mud he ate out in the yard. Then the diarrhea started and off we went to the vet - we did not wait because our dogs never get sick like that. Took 2 visits and an overnight stay to see him begin healing up. Put off a vacation for a week to make sure he was well. The vet put him on a VERY expensive prescription food ($4 a pound for dry; $3 a can for wet). Went on vacation for a week, boarded all 3 Goldens, pup was on the prescription food the whole time, no diarrhea. After we got back, we then started blending him back to the Diamond food when the Hill's got low, new bag of Diamond this time. Diarrhea returned when he was 3/4 of the way back on Diamond. Medication from vet this time, more of the expensive food..

We normally buy the high energy red bag of Diamond. Noticed the packaging was different but figured at some point everyone changes a look. My pit-pointer mix has had real bad gas and both dogs have had black diarrhea. My Boston terrier has it bad... he is going out more often and having diarrhea several times a day. After reading these other issues I think Diamond owes a lot of money back.
