Premium Edge brand cat food is manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods, which is a sub-division of the Schell and Kampter company. The Diamond Pet Food company has three manufacturing plants, which are located in Meta, Missouri, Lanthrop, California and Gaston, South Carolina. Diamond Pet Foods was first founded in 1970, though at the time was primarily a lifestock feed company. Diamond Pet Foods is still privately held, and family owned. Diamond Pet Foods was very publicly involved in the 2005 pet food recalls, when aflotoxin was discovered in the manufacturing facility in Gaston, South Carolina. This recall involved all products that contained corn, and that were manufactured at that specific facility. After testing, only two dog food formulas were discovered to be potentially toxic, and were removed from stores. There are no Premium Edge cat food products currently on the FDA's pet food recall list.

Premium Edge brand cat food is well-recieved by consumers for listing chicken as the first ingredient in all of its pet food formulas. In addition to this, the inclusion of several active cultures in Premium Edge brand cat food formulas aids in the digestion of the food. The exclusion of corn, soy and wheat ingredients in Premium Edge brand cat food is another positive factor. However, the inclusion of barley ingredients in Premium Edge cat food formulas is subject to debate, since some people believe that barley is toxic to cats.
