Explore Petco's wide selection of Solid Gold products and find out how this group of animal lovers, explorers and nutritionist craft their holistic formulas. For over forty years, Solid Gold has been developing a growing line of dry & canned foods, treats, and supplement products for both dogs and cats.
As part of Solid Gold's nutrition philosophy, they make pet food products with purpose. They begin this process by scouring the earth for simple, natural ingredients that unleash your pet's “inner gold!” Their Solid Gold dry dog and cat food products for example each use their Gold Source Core Nutrition formula. This includes ocean fish meal for a balanced protein to help with muscle growth and egg's essential amino acids to support muscle growth and metabolism. Solid Gold also includes super foods like pumpkin, along with Vitamins C and E, so their dry food products can help support your pet's immune system and long term health. Omega fatty acids are used to promote immune system function plus skin and coat health, while protected probiotics and natural prebiotic fiber support your pet's digestion. Taurine is also added to Solid Gold products to support heart health along with L-Carnitine to help burn fat and maintain muscle mass.
By using a combination of meat meal and high quality fresh meat instead of meat by-products, Solid Gold is able to provide your pet an adequate supply of meat protein in every dish. Solid Gold is dedicated to providing pets with the highest quality ingredients, even if it means they are sourced internationally. Regardless of the sourcing, all Solid Gold ingredients undergo multiple checkpoints against key health and safety criteria and are brought into Solid Gold US manufacturing facilities where their unique recipes are crafted into food products and packaged for sale. Solid Gold treats are made in the US with 100% US ingredients, so you can safely reward your dog.

Yes, Solid Gold is a good quality food that has been around for many years and has a good reputation. I think it is often a good idea to rotate protein sources and can help dogs be less picky. If Sky has a sensitive stomach, you should change protein sources gradually over a couple of days to prevent an upset stomach. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hi there. I normally recommend feeding a food like Royal Canin, Iams, or Purina. These companies have a great deal of research behind their diets to prove that they are complete and balanced, and provide appropriate nutrition for whatever age or life stage the food is labeled for - puppies, adult dogs, seniors, etc. There is no particular benefit to feeding a grain-free diet unless your dog happens to be allergic to some type of grain, which isn't very common - most food allergies in dogs are to proteins such as chicken, beef, etc. If you think that Gary has food allergies, you may want to talk to your veterinarian about doing a diet trial with a prescription hypoallergenic diet such as Purina HA or Hills z/d.

You are correct that grain-free diets have shown a link to heart disease, especially in Goldens. We recommend switching them to a non grain free food. You can try Science Diet, Eukanuba, Iams, Purina, Nutro, Royal Canin, etc. If you are concerned about your Golden you can have a taurine level checked at your veterinarian to see if their taurine level is low. If it is they are currently recommending ultrasounds of their hearts to make sure their hearts are ok. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

I agree. I do not recommend to feed pets a grain free diet unless they have a known grain allergy. There are a few brands that I recommend because I think they’re high quality and pets tend to like the taste. Royal Canin is my number one choice. It is highly digestible and low residue and this tends to result in good stool quality with low stool quantity. Another brand I like is Purina pro plan. Nutro is also a good brand. Make sure to transition any diet slowly. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Every dog is a little different and you may have to experiment a bit to find the food that Roscoe tolerates the best. I don't know what your budget is, or what is specifically available in your area, but here are a few brand options: Natural Balance Taste of the Wild Merrick Canidae Most of these brands offer grain free treats as well.
