Solid Gold does not participate in any invasive animal testing. We do however work with reputable kennels to feed test new innovation for palatability and digestibility. Also, our own Solid Gold pets happily participate in any palatability testing.

These tiny holes in the bags are called “Micro perforations” and are put there intentionally to allow air to escape the bag during transport and storage. Trapped air can allow moisture to accrue, which is a breeding ground for mold and other bacteria. This way, when the air escapes it keeps the kibble dry and safe. These holes are actually an industry wide standard and if you look closely enough you will see they are on other pet food bags as well.

There have been numerous shelf studies done with these micro perforations and it has been shown that quality and safety of the food is not affected by them. All bags have these micro perforations, but where the holes are located on the bags depends on which manufacturing plant the food is produced in. Some have the two pinholes on the sides of the bag towards the top, while some have multiple along the lower sides of the bags.

All Solid Gold dry dog and cat foods, treats and supplements are made in the USA. Our tuna based canned cat foods are made in Thailand in facilities that manufacture human consumption tuna and meet high quality and safety standards.

While “human grade” is not a legal term that can be used in conjunction with animal feed manufacturing, we utilize only high quality ingredients that pass strict quality control measures.

While Solid Gold is not certified organic, we do use the most high quality ingredients from the most natural sources.

Eggs are nature’s perfect protein – providing essential amino acids to support your pet’s muscle growth and metabolism. Few foods can beat the nutritional impact of eggs; high-quality protein and fat along with a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.

All Solid Gold dry dog and cat foods supply both a natural prebiotic fibers and protected probiotics to provide optimal support for overall digestive health and nutrient absorption. These ingredients help to support your pet’s overall digestive health. Safe for cats and dogs of all life stages and sizes.

Why both: Natural prebiotics fibers feed the probiotics, which are protected in the cooking process, thus enhance their positive actions.

Solid Gold is concerned about the use of GMOs and prefers to use non-GMO ingredients. However, we are not certified non-GMO.

Our US sourced meats are USDA inspected. Some of our unique proteins such as quail and duck are from France and fall under French food safety laws and our lamb and venison falls under Australian and New Zealand food safety laws. All our veggies, fruits, grains, etc are very high quality but the term “human grade” is not applicable when it comes to pet food ingredients. No matter the quality of the ingredient, once they are used to make animal food, they can legally no longer be called “human grade”.

Origin of all meat proteins:

• Venison - Australia

• Turkey - USA

• Chicken - USA

• Beef - USA

• Bison - USA

• Menhaden Herring (ocean fish meal) - USA

• Pollock - USA

• Quail - France

• Duck - France

• Salmon – Bering Strait

• Lamb - USA

• Lamb Meal - New Zealand OR Australia

Ex. I see 18% is the minimum amount of protein in Holistique Blendz, but what is the maximum?

The maximum amount of a nutrient value is generally 2% higher than the minimum listed. It is rare for the nutrient to reach that high, and generally stays much closer to the minimum, maybe 1% higher.

Do you have information on other nutrient values not listed on the label?

Yes, please contact us via phone, email or our contact page so that we can get any nutritional information to you.

Kcal is interchangeable with the word calories. In pet food labeling, calories are referred to as kcals.

Why don’t your products contain chondroitin and glucosamine?

We do not include glucosamine and chondroitin in our foods due to the fact that every pet differs in their needs so we recommend using a joint supplement in addition to the food to help with joint heatlh.

The omega fatty acids and superfood components in our foods contain powerful natural anti-inflammatories which will support joint health as well.

The coloration of kibble can vary from batch to batch. This is commonly due to the fact that we do not use any artificial colors and the coloration of raw ingredients will affect the final color of the kibble.

We recommend storing the food in the original bag, which should be stored in a cool dry place. Pouring the food in to a separate container exposes it to a rush of air and can increase the rate at which it will oxidize, decreasing the shelf-life. By leaving the food in the bag, it becomes a barrier and provides an extra layer of protection.

Canned foods should be covered and stored in the refrigerator for no longer than 3-4 days.

Can Solid Gold foods be frozen to extend the shelf life?

We have not conducted studies about how long freezing may extend the shelf life of Solid Gold foods. If a customer chooses to freeze, we recommend only defrosting a couple days’ worth of dry food to help prevent mold growth caused by excess moisture. An easy way to freeze canned food is in ice cube trays for simple serving sizes.

Switching to any new dog food should be a gradual transition over 7 to 10 days.  Replace 25% of the current food with Solid Gold pet food for 2 to 3 days, then feed a little more Solid Gold pet food over the next 5 to 7 days until they are eating a Solid Gold formula exclusively. This gradual transition will help reduce any digestive upsets that may occur due to the change in diet.

Dry foods are stamped with a best use by date that is 18 months from the date of manufacture.

Canned foods are stamped with a best use by date that is (3) years from the date of manufacture.

Supplements are stamped with a best use by date that is (3) years from the date of manufacture.

We recommend using the food within 6 to 8 weeks after opening.

Berry Balance helps to acidify the urine and is commonly used for dogs and cats with struvite crystals. It can be combined with a regular adult maintenance dog or cat food for customers that do not want to use prescription dog foods.

Cranberries and blueberries contain proanthocyanidins that can help prevent adhesion of bacteria to the bladder and urinary tract wall. Despite common perception, cranberry does not have a great acidifying effect; ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is added to Berry balance as an acidifier.

Berry Balance should only be used if the urine pH is too alkaline. It is very important to closely monitor the pet’s urine pH while using Berry Balance.

All Solid Gold Pet® dry dog, cat and canned/cup dog foods are made in the United States. Our canned cat foods are made in Thailand.

In our 45 years of being in operation, we have had a voluntarily recall for one batch of Wolf King and one batch of Wolf Cub during the industry wide salmonella recalls in 2012. No samples for either product tested positive for salmonella. These two batches were recalled out of an abundance of caution. Pet safety is our number one priority and we take necessary precautions to ensure our products are safe for pets.

Solid Gold operates what we call a “positive release” program with all our foods. When a batch of food is made, samples are taken from the batch and sent to a lab for various analyses for pathogens such as salmonella. Once the test results come back and are approved, the food is released for shipment to our warehouse for distribution. With this, you can be assured that Solid Gold food has been tested and approved.

Extruding is a process that used heat, steam, and pressure to cook kibble and break down the starches in the grains. This is one of the most important aspects in processing pet food because the starch is not digestible until it is broken down. An extrusion machine looks like a big screw that rotates. Pressure is used to shoot the dough through a “die” to form the kibble shapes.

Baking just uses heat. Baked foods have to be exposed to a much higher heat for a longer period of time to break down the starch. There is NO digestibility difference between baked and extruded foods, all things being the same. Companies that baked their foods used to flout it as better, but it is not. Most companies that baked their food have gone to extruding in the past few years – the biggest being Wellness.
