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.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I definitely understand your concern. I do think it would be best to switch them to a regular diet. There are many types out there that are affordable and good. I like the Purina Pro Plan shredded blends in that category because they are palatable, affordable and of very good quality. Good luck and have a great day!

I would recommend Purina Pro Plan, Hills Science Diet, or Eukanuba diets. The reason is that they all do good testing of products and have veterinarians on staff making sure the food is nutritionally balanced. There are many "boutique" food available these days that look great, but aren't ideally formulated or researched. If Sullivan is an usually active dog (hunts, does competitive agility/fly ball etc, or is a police dog), there are variations of these food for more active dogs. I do not recommend a grain free diet. This is really just a fad born out of increased awareness of gluten-free diets and celiac in people. 99.999% of the time, when dogs have food allergies it is related to an animal protein. The grain free diets are actually more likely to give dogs intestinal issues because they tend to be higher in fat. I hope you find a diet that Sullivan likes and that fits your budget!

Look at the packages for information on the calories. You will want one with higher calories. Try to stick to the better quality foods. Iams, Purina One, Eukanuba and Nutro are all moderately priced and are good diets. Ask about a membership or purchase punch card which some pet stores may have to help save costs. Often, setting up an automatic shipment can save money as well. I hope this helps.

Congratulations on your new puppy Diggy! In general I like the brand Royal Canin. The dogs that I see (including my own) that eat that diet tend to have nice hair coats and good stool quality. They make a variety of breed specific and size specific diets. The breeds for the small dogs also have enzymes that make harder for bacteria to cling to teeth (which helps reduce tartar build up). I also like Purina ProPlan and Iams. Please post again if you have any further questions!

I personally do not like Blue Buffalo at all. They have had serious quality control problems which they have admitted due to the fact that they don't own their own factories. They therefore give the recipe to someone to make, and have no control over whether or not the recipe is followed exactly. Plus many colleagues have reported an increase in gas with this food. I would not recommend Blue Buffalo for Fiffy. As for the other two foods, between the two of them I would recommend the Nutro Max. It's a better quality food in my opinion. Just so you are aware, grains are beneficial to dogs and I do not recommend feeding a dog a grain free food unless they have a proven grain allergy, which isn't very common at all in dogs. Food allergies are the least common type of allergies in dogs, and when they do have a food allergy, it is most commonly related to protein not grain. There are very few dogs who have true grain allergies. It is beneficial for Fiffy's health to feed her grains
