DIAMOND PET FOODS RECALL:
The Diamond Pet Foods Company is conducting a voluntary recall on a number of the brands of food that they produce, one of these is Diamond Naturals, the line we carry. On the back of your bag is a production code, the 9th or 10th digit will be a 2 or a 3 followed by an X. The next thing to look for is the best-before date, dates of recall are December 9, 2012 through April 7, 2013.
Please return your unused portion, with the bag, to the store for a full refund or credit toward a different food. After Tuesday, Your New Puppy, will do a full line switch to the Nutro Max line. We have already begun a partial switch and have had no problems with the transition to a different natural food.
For further information regarding the recall Diamond has set up a web site for this that has more information with a listing of all brands of concern. Their web is www.diamondpetrecall.com
NATURAL BALANCE RECALL:
Some of the Natural Balance line that was produced at the Diamond plant in South Carolina is also under a voluntary recall. The only product that we carried is the Sweet Potato & Venison line. For a full list of recalled items as well as the product codes please go to www.naturalbalanceinc.com
You can return any unused portion with the bag to the store for a full refund or exchange.
Your New Puppy wants to extend an apology to all of our customers that this recall may have affected. We will do whatever we can to assist you in a transition to a different natural food.
Your New Puppy, as you know it today, was started in September of 2006 by Mark and Charity Johnson. The YNP kennel is located in rural west-central Ohio, situated on 17 acres, woods in the back to watch the deer, mostly pasture from the days of mini donkeys, Dexter cattle and Babydoll sheep and a 2 acre pond where two groups of Canadian Geese come every year to have their little ones. YNP, along with the other private Ohio breeders we now use, have been breeding family pets for over 10 years. Mark's passion for animals started when he was only 13 and a member of his local 4-H club breeding and showing rabbits and guinea pigs.
To bring you a better selection and choice to fit your family's needs we have chosen to not specialize in any one or two breeds of dogs. Every breed has their benefit and every breed is right for the right person. Instead we have chosen to do a variety of breeds and mixes, all with their own unique personality and traits. The popularity of "designer mixes" has increased, mostly due to the request of the customer asking for more options regarding less shedding and more commonly allergy issues. We have now come to specialize in "designer mixes" and boast the largest selection in the area, if not the state! And while we do lean towards the smaller, companion pets, we do also have some larger breeds available.
At the store level, the staff at YNP strives to educate prospective buyers before they make a purchase. This is done several ways, first you will find an info sheet on every puppy telling you about litter information, personality, basic care, and general traits. You will also find a numerical allergy scale to let you know if a pup will or will not be good for those of you with allergy issues. And of course the staffs general knowledge of dogs. We are here to answer your questions and encourage you to ask. We would rather you make a well informed decision than to make an emotional decision and regret it later. A pup that does not fit your family's needs is one that may get shuffled around from family to family and may sometimes end up in a shelter. The shelters have enough to deal with so please realize that buying a puppy will take a commitment of time and patience on your part, think carefully, ask questions and choose carefully. After all, we want our kids to find their forever homes also.
