A public service announcement: If you have recently purchased dog- or cat-food under the brand names Diamond, Country Value, or Professional, please read this recall:
I read about that this morning, martha, (on CNN) and was kind of shocked by it (for one, I didn't know there was a corn fungus that would shut down the liver system of a dog).
Since we buy TONS of dog food, I was worried about the headline, but that brand isn't sold in our state, luckily.
My sister's Cocker went through a liver failure episode last year (unrelated) and I can tell it is extremely expensive thing to nurse them back to health from, and they are never back to 100% after that.

Oh, dear. I checked the list too-- one of those brands of cat food was recently purchased in our household. But our state isn't on the list-- the stuff shipped here is manufactured in CA, apparently, and didn't get the fungusy stuff.

I've never even heard of any of those brands.

We do Purina, Friskies, and the occasional Fancy Feast in our house. I sure hope the owners see this recall and don't feed it to their pets.
I have always wondered how pet owners would know if something was ever wrong with the food. I got sort of paranoid about it so that I always have at least two different types of food available, and any that goes uneaten for longer than normal gets tossed out.
