Yes I've definately seen the same problem with my own dogs, I had been feeding the Diamond Hi-Energy for quite some time, and since about December my dogs just seem to go downhill, they weren't holding their muscle structure as well, and I even noticed some blood in the stool of two of my dogs, I tried to talk w/ diamond about the problem they only wanted to offer a replacement bag of feed instead of fixing the problem. I stayed w/ them for about 2mths more because I have been a Die Hard Diamond Pet Food customer for several years, even thru their worst recall a few years back. But with the problems my dogs were having and the prices keep going up on Diamond Dog Food, I figure I could just as well buy another premium brand and give it a try, and my dogs seem to be doing a lot better on the new feed.
