Your joking right? That is one of the worst food you could feed your poor dogs. Try (Solid Gold) Wee Bity Adult. One of the best you can buy. If not that, then at least go to Walmart and buy some purina one, or natural balance.

Diamond Foods has had a lot of problems in the past. So even if you they actually make a good food now. I would never feed my dog Diamond foods. Go with volki31 he said solid gold foods. That is also what I use.

I recommend Diamond's Naturals Small Breed Chicken and Rice formula. The Naturals line has no by-products, corn, or preservatives. I use the Large Breed version for my huskies and they have great coats and their teeth and eyes are bright and clear too. I have been using it for just over a year and I have noticed a dramatic improvement in their overall health and energy levels.
Make sure to switch over to the new brand slowly to avoid stomach upset. Use 1/4 new to 3/4 old for 3 days, then 1/2 and 1/2, and keep increasing it every few days until you are all new.

Diamond is not a good food. Diamond has fillers and by-products that are unhealthy for your pet. They have had so many recalls in the past I wouldn't trust them. Read about why you shouldn't buy commercial grade pet food and also learn what is in our Pet Food at http://hubpages.com/hub/Safe_Pet_Food. Sometimes I can't access that web page from Yahoo Answers, you may have to type in to your URL line. I hope that you will find the article interesting, I wrote it.

Diamond Pet Foods as had a lot of problems in the past with moldy feeds. I would call their hotline and ask if they have cleared up those problems. I know the area stores who carry Diamond Pet Foods has had to send a lot of it back. I bought a bag in the past year that was moldy.
I would really recommend IAMS for small breeds. Although the kibbles on their Lamb & Rice are bigger I feed my dogs IAMS Lamb & Rice and I have fed IAMS to my cats since 1987. I have switched off and on to other brands thru out the years and most recently during the pet food problems but I have come back to IAMS because my animals didn't do as well on the other foods including Science Diet, Nutro, and Purina One.
IAMS may be a bit more expensive but I am feeding 10 cats free choice with one 20 lb bag of Lamb & Rice per month that is $32.97....and my three stock dogs free choice go thru one 40 lb bag on IAMS Lamb & Rice per month and that is about $27.97 per month.
I was feeding the wild barn cats "Special Kitty" brand from Wal-Mart at $8.97 per bag and they were blowing thru 3 bags a month...I switched to IAMS on them as well and they are only eating one bag per month now.
The added bonus of IAMS is the animals have less waste (POOP!) and much much less and almost non-existent odor to the poop as well. And the turds are not soft & mushy & huge like they would be if they weren't on IAMS.
And if your dogs won't eat their IAMS at first....I have never know a dog or cat to starve themselves to death. While I don't advocate feeding canned food (it is not good for their teeth and if they are old soak the dry kibbles in water to soften them) put a little canned IAMS food on it to start them eating.

No. Diamond has corn in it, and corn is a filler, and also promotes skin conditions and allergies. It also has by products, THIS IS BAD FOOD. I recommend Merrick dog food. It is all natural, wasn't on the recall list, and it is healthy, and cheap!
