Today we got the Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul sample.When I first gave it to her she warmed up to it instantly.She’ll actually paw at me to get it.In fact Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul is about the same as Solid Gold.She’ll only refuse it if she’s full.Wellness was good too but she didn’t warm up to the food as quick.Science Diet & IAMS she’d refuse it altogether even if she’s hungry.BUT,what I didn’t know and I did know about Diamond Recalls was that Diamond requires all of their pet food companies to perserve fish meal with Ethoxyquin which can cause dogs to get cancer.Regretfully and thankfully these were only samples from the companies and it’s good I checked it out before we got the bag of Chicken Soup as I certainly don’t want Lacey to die early because of a “dishonest” choice of food I gave her that caused her to be ill & take her life from her so no more Diamond Pet Food Brands including Artemis which I also looked into but we didn’t sample it thankfully.
Update:December 7 2009:As an update on Diamond using Ethoxyquin please see the update above this last entry to see what Chicken Soup said.Intially I took it as that Chicken Soup did use this,Ethoxyquin,because on a forum on dogster one animal owner mentioned that Diamond requires all brands to use Ethoxyquin but from the email and the website they don’t.I feel reassured knowing that I made a safe decision for Lacey.
