As a pet food company that’s been in business since 1970, Diamond knows that the key to longevity is making a high-quality food at a reasonable price. By limiting the budget they spend on marketing and sales, Diamond can keep costs down without sacrificing quality. However, Diamond is never afraid to invest in their production facilities, which creates better jobs for their employees while reducing the overall cost to produce a premium dog food.

Invests in Quality and Safety Processes to Ensure Safe Food
Many pet food manufacturers develop unique processes and systems to ensure superior food safety. Diamond is one manufacturer that continuously reinvests in their safety programs and has some of the best safety practices that Mud Bay has seen. Diamond’s superior safety program didn’t happen overnight. Recalls in 2005 and 2013 were a call to action and transformed them into an industry leader in food safety. Today, all Diamond manufacturing facilities conduct onsite testing of all incoming ingredients, hi-tech water purification systems, air filtration systems, third-party food testing, a 100% test-and-hold policy, as well as third-party safety certifications on its plant sanitation processes.
