Diamond Pet Foods says it is voluntarily recalling its Diamond Naturals Lamb Meal & Rice dry dog food because the product may be contaminated with salmonella.
A news release from the company Friday says no illnesses have been reported and no other Diamond products are affected.
People who handle the pet food could become infected with salmonella. Healthy people infected with salmonella should monitor themselves for the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
Pets with salmonella may have decreased appetite fever and abdominal pain.
The product was distributed to customers in 12 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia. It is possible those customers may have distributed it to other states.

Your horses health is very important to us thus we want you to be aware that Rabies in Horses has been seen in our area and is on the rise. This disease is invariably fatal and transmittable to other animals as well as humans.
Exposure occurs through the bite of an infected animal, typically a raccoon, fox, skunk, bat, coyote, cat or dog.
Since many horses, in pastures or in stalls are exposed to wildlife, they are at risk. Often times these bites go unnoticed until the virus migrates via nerves to the brain/spinal cord. There is potential risk of human exposure as well as domestic pets and other livestock. Any diagnosed contact with a non vaccinated animal may result in a 6 month quarantine of your animals.
We urge you to please make sure your horses are up to date on their Rabies Vaccine.
We are offering a discounted price on Equine Rabies for the entire month of April, 2012.
Please call our clinic or email us if you have any questions.
