I think I asked this before, but should pet food stories be on Slashfood? I've decided yes, because after all, pets are people too. Besides, a recent AOL poll showed that 36% of Slashfood readers are dogs.
Diamond Pet Foods has agreed to pay $3.1 million to pet owners whose dogs died or got sick from eating tained dog food last year. The fund will be set up to "reimburse pet owners for the loss of their dog, veterinarian bills, and the cost of any unreturned contaminated food."
The company says it did nothing illiegal, but does say that employees at their Gaston, SC plant didn't follow proper testing procedures for the dog food.

i think you should talk about pet food. i'd like to see some stuff about home-made pet food, healthy alternatives and that stuff! i have 3 dogs and have experimented with making food for them. there are cookbooks and websites and it's just normal food put together for their needs. thanks.
