Aflatoxins can affect companion animals as well.  Seventy-six dogs in the U.S. were believed to have died from Diamond Pet Food that was contaminated by aflatoxins at a plant in Gaston, SC. The food had been also shipped to 29 countries outside the U.S. when Diamond Pet Food issued a recall on the contaminated products and offered reimbursement to pet owners for veterinary costs. 24   In another similar case, O’Neals Feeder Supply, Inc., the supplier of Arrow brands,  recalled dog food contaminated with aflatoxins as a precautionary measure before any adverse health effects were reported. 25
