Kirkland’s dog food rocks! Seriously, it is the best budget brand.

For years I fed Canidae and/or Wellness, known to be very good dog foods. I have a Doberman, Mini Schnauzer and a Schipperke all with very different needs. But when life became tough I had to find a good dog food that I could afford. My friend, a breeder of Border Terriers recommended Kirkland, and with great hesitation I bought a bag. Well I am still feeding it 18 months later, all of my dogs look and feel great! Now I tell my other friends about it and they are happy too.

Was giving the dogs Fromm’s Gold but to save money I tried Kirklands puppy and adult food sold only @ Cosco. Within two weeks my dogs coats looked terrible, so back to Fromm’s! While it is alot more expensive its worth it!

Same problem here. First they seemed to be really enjoying it . Now they won’t even try to eat. Don’t know what to do.

Has anyone had a problem with their dogs liking Kirklands canned food and then just stop eating it the next. We think that maybe we have gotten a bad batch or something. All of a sudden they have just stopped eating this food, but will eat another brand on hand.

Tainted Dog Food?
Last week my dog, Molly, had two seizures within an hour of eating Kirkland Signature Super Premium Chicken and Rice wet dog food. I had purchased the product some time ago, but it was still within the usage date: (A) Best By Jan 27 12.
I skipped a feeding using the Costco dog food between the two days that she had the seizures, and that day she did not have a seizure. I figured out the connection between the seizures and Molly eating the food on the third day–she has not had a seizure since.
Costco refunded the money for the remainder of the product–I filled out an incident report, but so far they have not been willing to look into my requests to have the food tested.
I know that Costco voluntarily recalled this exact same dog food back in 2007 with a Best By date in 2009.
Has anyone else had an issue with their dog by using this product?
They were not even able to say, “I’m sorry”

Brooke, it is up to the quality control personal of each company to oversee Diamonds manufacturing of their product. I talked and e-mailed TOTW on many occasions about how they go about their quality control. I feel fine with the answer(s) I got from them. Basically they have personal their when ever their product is be produced. I was also informed that they do not use many of the suppliers that other companies might use. If you aren’t 100% sure about any company, you need to e-mail and telephone them. Do both and see if you get the same answers.

Brooke you are correct in some ways, but fail to miss other premium feeds made by the same company like Natural Balance, Canidae, Taste of the Wild, and I believe they also manufacture a few Wellness formulas, or have in the past.

For those not aware, the following four foods:

Kirkland
Diamond
Chicken Soup
Premium Edge

are ALL made by Diamond Brands. If you reasearch them closeley, they are actually the same basic food with a couple of modifications for each formula. Diamond label is their lowest quality, Chicken Soup their medium quality, and Premium Edge their best quality food.

The formula of the Kirkland food is nearly identical to the Chicken Soup – it’s basically the same food at a much lower price.
