Solid Gold Experiences

• Solid Gold Experiences Shohin Posted : 12/13/2006 11:14:37 AM I'm about to try Winston on a new puppy food . . . particularly something that doens't have poultry in it.  I'm looking to provide some variety. Does anyone have any experience with Solid Gold's Hundchen Flocken Puppy?  Its lamb based and seems to have a decent list of ingredients . . . .

• outdoorschik Posted : 12/13/2006 2:55:02 PM I have two lab mixes, one 6 years old and another 1.5 I used to feed Nutro, but wanted to improve what I was feeding. I've used the Solid Gold Puppy Formula and now I use the Adult Lamb and Rice... They make a large breed formula for large breed pups and also one for adults with Bison and Salmon which I like as well but the red meat aggravates my older dog's arthritis. I've had success with this and the dogs look great, shiny coats and relatively firm stools. I do supplement with Salmon oil, a host of joint sups and some RMB's every other day. When they didn't get the salmon oil, my younger dog did have some skin flaking, but he's got a bunch of immune issues and was never the healthiest dog so I hesitate to blame that on the food since my older dog looks awesome without the fish oil. Also, their fur smells very little on this food. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Xerxes Posted : 12/13/2006 2:59:14 PM I haven't fed that particular one, but I have fed and still feed Wolf King/Wolf Cub formulas.  I'm a big fan of those particular formulas and have had great success with keeping stools solid, coats shiny, eyes bright and clear and etc.     0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Boxermom4 Posted : 12/13/2006 3:01:02 PM My guys didn't do great on Solid Gold, they had dry itchy skin , their coats weren't great and after a year or so I figured I could get better quality for probably less money, so I switched em. That doesn't mean you won't have great luck, every dog is different[] Just our time with it wasn't great. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Margaret Tyler Posted : 12/13/2006 8:01:13 PM I would use  Solid Gold's Wolf Cub formula.  It's specifically meant for large breeds.  From what I've heard and experienced, Solid Gold's Lamb formulas are not very tasty.  I've use Solid Gold's Wee Bit formula, which is bison and salmon based like the Wolf Cub and King formulas with success. Not that this helps, but I use Solid Gold dry cat food for my female.  I've found that it keeps her slimmer and shinier than any other cat food I've tried. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Twin Posted : 12/13/2006 8:23:37 PM My pup wouldn't touch ANY of the Solid Gold formula's. Needless to say I don't feed them, so I have no experience. Seems like a really bland food, though. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jenns Posted : 12/13/2006 8:26:30 PM ORIGINAL: jojo the pogo Not that this helps, but I use Solid Gold dry cat food for my female.  I've found that it keeps her slimmer and shinier than any other cat food I've tried.   I've had the same experience with the cat food.  Also, less stinkier poops if you can imagine that to be possible with cats!  I've never tried the dog food though. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• inne Posted : 12/13/2006 8:28:22 PM My puppy refused to eat it. I mixed it with her old food to transition over and she would pick out every single piece of the Solid Gold, throw it on the floor, and eat her regular food. Apparently a lot of dogs just don't like it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mrv Posted : 12/14/2006 7:33:53 AM Nora is thriving on it.  I have good muscle development, correct shiny coat.  She is very high drive so I am also pleased with the weight maintainance. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Rick B Posted : 12/14/2006 8:51:47 AM I have good muscle development, correct shiny coat. ORIGINAL: mrv I was pleased with Barking At The Moon (newer salmon & beef formulation) except for the eye boogers.  My dog got them more than with other kibble but her poop was consistently firm and she never wasted any time eating it.  The label indicates it is a bit more potato content than I prefer (contains both potato and potato protein) but I won't rule out future purchases. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mudpuppy Posted : 12/14/2006 10:25:17 AM the ingredients on many of their products look good. However, we had major gas and soft gross poop on the Wolfcub and Wolfking.  We had dogs begging to try the sample of Barking at the Moon I picked up. Might buy some and use it as training rewards. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jones Posted : 12/14/2006 9:18:18 PM I fed Russell SG Millenium (beef & barley formula) for about 6 mo. I thought it was good... the only issue to be aware of is that it has less fat than many other kibbles, and that's why you'll sometimes see dry skin or coats. When I was feeding it I supplemented with salmon oil and also tried to give him some raw beef once a week or so to boost the fat content of his diet. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Luvntzus Posted : 12/14/2006 9:22:23 PM I tried Solid Gold Hunchen Flocken for Gingerbread very briefly. The kibbles were large for a puppy food and the food smelled very "grainy". He didn't like it and the kibbles were too big anyway so I either returned the food or gave it to the shelter, can't remember which. [] I've thought about trying their Just a Wee Bit several times, but I always find another food I like better.
