FAQ
Are Diamond products irradiated?
Food irradiation is a process in which foods are exposed to radiant energy, including gamma rays, electron beams and x-rays to eliminate foodborne pathogens. We do not irradiate Diamond products. Food irradiation is not guaranteed to kill 100% of pathogens present and could accelerate the oxidation of the fat, making it spoil faster. If used incorrectly, irradiation has proven to negatively affect vitamin activity, especially vitamin B1 or thiamine. A deficiency of this vitamin in cats can cause several health problems including neurological disorders.
Do you have a vegetarian diet?
At this time we do not have any vegetarian diets. We believe strongly in the value of quality animal proteins for a healthy and lean body condition. We offer a variety of formulas with a variety of animal protein sources to appeal to many different pets and their owners. The blend of amino acids that are found in animal protein sources better meet the nutritional requirements for dogs and cats. This does not mean that a balanced vegetarian diet is not possible, but we have decided to stick with quality animal protein sources for now.
What type of meat is used in the Diamond Naturals Grain-Free* formulas?
The first ingredient in each formula is real beef, real chicken or real fish. These protein sources provide dogs with the amino acid building blocks necessary for a healthy and lean body condition and give Diamond Naturals Grain-Free formulas the great taste dogs love and the nutrition pet owners appreciate.
*The facility in which this food is made also makes food that may contain other ingredients, such as grains. Trace amounts of these other ingredients may be present.
Is Diamond Naturals have salt in their diets?
Yes, Dogs and cats require salt in their diet. Sodium and chloride are important minerals for pets, especially for young puppies and kittens. Dietary sodium helps with growth and reproduction. If we didn’t add salt, we would not meet the minimum requirements dogs and cats need. Although our diets are not “salt restricted” like some prescription formulations, they are certainly not high in salt.
How can I be sure of the quality of the Diamond products?
Diamond Pet Foods is manufactured in the U.S. in our state-of-the-art facilities. We are committed to product safety and quality, and adhere to stringent and scientifically advanced food safety protocols. We are constantly monitoring and testing our raw materials, production environment, processes and finished products. By continuously improving performance with the latest advancements in science and technology, we’ve developed a comprehensive food safety system. Here are a few of the ways we ensure quality:
- On-Site Product Testing
- Mycotoxin Control
- Microbial Testing
- Water Purification
- Air Quality Control
- Test and Hold Program
Can I mix two different Diamond products?
You can mix a dry product and a canned product if you like to feed a mixture of these types of foods to your pet. We do not recommend feeding your pet a mixture of two dry products. If you are interested in feeding only dry pet food we recommend finding one of our dry products that meets your pet’s needs and feeding it consistently.
How should I transition my pet to Diamond foods?
When transitioning your pet to a new food, we recommend a gradual introduction of the new formula over a seven day period. For pets with sensitivities, extend the transition period to 10 to 14 days. Start by adding a small amount of your pet’s new food to his or her current food. Gradually, increase the new food amount and decrease the current food amount at each feeding until you are feeding only the new food.
