Finicky Eaters have met their Match
Date: May 10, 2006
"I have a small "pound puppy" whom I adopted almost thirteen years ago. With the exception of canned food (which I will not use),this dog would only eat enough to stay alive. He wanted trash or people food. I began trying different varities of Solid Gold. About 3 months ago I began using Hund-N-Flocken for our doberman because of her allergies. I was amazed when the smaller older dog ate healthy portions of this particular flavor. The food size reminds me of a marble that's been flattened. Both my dogs LOVE this food! I cannot say enough GOOD things about this product and I have tried plenty! Although more expensive than some dog foods, it is worth every penny."

Itchy Cocker Spaniel
Date: February 24, 2006
"We have a 2 1/2 year old Cocker that was getting bumps all over her tummy and on her front legs. We tried a few different food changes (including allergy foods) Nothing took care of the itching and bumps completely. This product did. Within 2 weeks she was a different dog. Before this food change she was on 3-4 benadryl a day to keep her comfortable. Now she no longer even needs that. We put our other cocker on this food now too and they love the taste. Thank you Solid Gold and Petco."

EXCELLENT
Date: February 20, 2006
"We have a 2 year old weimaraner who has been plauged with food allergies from the time he was a small pup. We have tried many different foods which resulted in nasty side effects, regardless of what the food claimed. I read about the Solid Gold story and the mission behind Hund N flocken and decided to try it. CASPER HAS NEVER BEEN HEALTHIER!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DOG FOOD. You may also want to try Honest Kitchen Embark."

Best Food Ever
Date: October 25, 2009
"My dogs love this food and when finicky friends come over and taste it. They're converted as well. One of my dogs was adopted and had terrible food allergies. She even lost hair on her elbows due to her allergies. Once I put her on this food, her coat is shiny, her hair grew back and she's never been more fit. This has to be the best dog food out there. It may be pricey but it's worth it. Good nutrition now means less vet bills later. Our furry children deserve the best. My dogs eat better than I do. :)"

Senior dog with puppy looks
Date: October 24, 2009
"I'm a mini schnauzzer that's 12 years old, but everyone thinks I'm much younger. My Mom has been feeding me Solid Gold for 11 years. My vet says I have the health of a much younger dog. Mom is pretty sure it's because of this great food.

My Golden LOVES this food~!
Date: April 17, 2009
"I have a 3 yr old Golden Retriever who I got from a friend about 6 weeks ago. He was really frustrated and ready to give him away because the dog is very overweight, seems obsessed with food, smells bads all the time, and had major skin problems/scabs (duh!), hair loss, etc. I took the dog (he's a GREAT dog!) and knew immediately that all this was a food allergy. I switched him from Pedigree to this food, and BAM! This dog smells great, looks great, skin problems are gone and hair is growing back. He no longer seems obsessed with food and is slowly losing weight on his new diet. This food is truly his LIFE SAVER~! Thanks Solid Gold and Petco...you guys ROCK!"

Health First
Date: March 21, 2009
"I started using Hund-n-Flocken when my Mini Schnauzer was about 7 months old on the recommendation of the Portland Schnauzer Rescue Organization. My dog's coat looks great and she's never had any hot spots like I've seen on many dogs in this breed. Also, we have yet to have any problems with bladder stones (knock on wood), another frequent issue with this breed.
She loves this food and with an occasional added healthy treat, apple slices, carrots, etc., she's been a very healthy dog the entire time she has lived with us. I attribute her good health partly to this great food!"

Highly Recommend
Date: January 4, 2009
"Our lab was starting to get hot spots on his front legs when a friend recommended Solid Gold to us. We started with the Wolf King, which helped cure him of the hot spots within the first bag of food. We had also been fighting a constant ear infection in his left ear for over a year, when our vet told us he probably had a food allergy and the bison wasn't far enough away from the beef family, so we now have him on the Hund n Flocken. Our lab has not suffered an ear infection since switching him six months ago! We now have a happy lab - no ear infections and a healthy shiny coat!"

She Loves It.
Date: October 30, 2008
"I adopted a rescued greyhound a year ago, when I got her she only weighted 50 pounds. You could see every rib and ridge in her backbone. If you touched her dander flew everywhere as her skin was so dry. Her coat and eyes were very dead and dull looking. She didn't have a clue about how to eat dry food, I had to teach her. I put her on Solid Gold Hund-N-Flocken and she now weighs 66.5 pounds, her coat and eyes are shiny and she looks great.
She is a very different dog from the one I adopted and her vet is amazed at the change in her looks and personality. I would recommend this food to anybody.
Also, if you are looking for a great dog to adopt, please consider rescuing a greyhound.

This food works wonders!!!
Date: May 17, 2008
"when i got my dog, he recovering from having a broken leg, worms, and scabies. he looked terrible! and it did not matter what food i tried, his coat was always flaking, oily, and in overall poor condition. he couldnt gain muscle mass or anything, including fat! When i heard about solid gold, i decided to try it since i heard such wonderful things about it, and i have loved it ever since (2 years ago)!!! his coat looks spectacular! he even put on 12lbs pure muscle!!! i will say i am extremely satisfied, that extra ten dollars (depending on bag size) is worth it. i know it isnt at the very top of the natural foods list, but it is in the top 5 of the ones that arent hard to find. earlier today, i took my dog to see the vet that took care of him 2 years ago when he had all those horrible problems i stated above. when the vet saw him, he had to ask me if it was the same dog, and he looked like his eyes were about to pop out of his head from amazement! I hope anyone looking into the natural foods at petco tries this food for a couple of months at least, you will be surprised what wonders this food does for your dog!"

Solid Gold Rocks!
Date: December 26, 2007
"We have been using Solid Gold for years. Our dogs love the taste and the shape of the food. We have a dog that struggled for years with loose stool, this is the food that saved him and us!
Although we will stick with the small shop that we originally bought Solid Gold from, it is nice to know Solid Gold is at Petco, just in case we are in a pinch.
Quite buying that 'cheap' dog food. Go with a high quality food like Solid Gold, your pets will be healthier and in the long run it will save you time and money.

Dogs did not like the taste!
Date: November 1, 2007
"Both my dogs did not like the taste. They starved themselves for 2 days. I have a springer, and she has never turned any food down before. She is a chow hound.
Finally, I made them something.
So, I just had to order the Natural Balance brand fish and sweet potato. If, you order this order some can food too. Then they might eat it.

The Golden Nugget
Date: October 22, 2007
"I'm not usually a review writer, but I got to say I'm a believer in this new solid gold Hund-n-Flockin. My 12 yr old daschund has all way eaten eukanuba. We have a parrot that required us to by his food at a speciality pet shop. They had some sample bags for a couple bucks so we tried it . The dog (Dexter) took to it right away. He started playing like a puppy again after about a week. He has suffered a fatty tumor for the past couple years. It appears to us that it has actually shrunk in size since he got on the Golden Nuggets 1 1/2 years later!!"

Solid Gold Dog Food
Date: August 7, 2007
"I have given Solid Gold to my Westies for almost 20 years. During that time, they have had great looking coats, no hot spots, no food allergies, and very little digestive problems. I wouldn't give them anything else."

Best Adult Lamb Food
Date: June 26, 2007
"Hands down the best adult dry dog food that which uses Lamb as the main ingredient.
I strongly believe it is important to rotate your dogs dry food. It is no longer believed that is makes your dog a 'picky' eater but instead it helps prevent them from developing allergies. I rotate this food with Solid Gold MMillennia (Beef) and Canidae All Life Stages (Chicken and Turkey).
This Solid Gold product, like almost all Solid Gold Foods, sets the highest of standards. Plus, my GSP loves it!"

Wonderful Food
Date: March 1, 2007
"I have been feeding my dogs Solid Gold for their entire lives. I moved to Arkansas in 2004 and it has not been available in any stores or shops. I have been driving to Cherokee Village to buy it and make the trip two times a year. I do not believe that you can give your dogs any better food than this. Their coats are great, they are healthy and happy. There are no preservatives, no fillers, no wheat. It is just a great product. The bags are vacuum sealed. I have a bulldog and a schnauzer."
