You should always be careful regarding the quality of the food you are giving to your pets.
Sometimes, even the best of companies produce food that may harm your dear pet.
On September 23rd 2009, Diamond Pet Foods recalled the Premium brand cat food after it was reported that several cats had become ill by consuming their Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat food.
They immediately took the food off the rack and informed the customers in case they had it in their houses.
Some bags of Premium Edge Hairball and Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat contained food that could cause Thiamine or Vitamin B1 deficiency in cats.
This in turn might have led to neurological and gastrointestinal problems.
Thiamine is vital for the nerves and intestines of the cat.
The deficiency inside the body, could also lead to a slow death for a cat.
Some of the common symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are loss of appetite, weight loss, increased salivation and puking.
Those food bags were distributed in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont and many other places.
Though this step has caused harm to the reputation of Diamond Pet Foods, yet it can be said that they have done a good job by saving certain lives.
The recall of cat food will be considered as a step towards saving several lives and this might be treated with a little consideration.
However, we have to remember that this is not the first time Diamond Pet Foods have recalled some amount of their products from the market due to low standards.
With regard to restoring their reputation, the company has contacted the media and taken the full responsibility for the food debacle.
However, all said and done now it depends on the health of the pets that have been fed with it.
Diamond Pets Food has already informed the consumers regarding the problems.
This is a sensitive issue since it also points a finger at how human beings treat animals.
In such a circumstance, we will only have to wait and watch to understand whether this company can restore its earlier reputation or not.
