Solid Gold Dog Food???

[finn's mom]

It is definitely easier to feed one type of food, but it can be a lot cheaper to feed two or more kinds. Especially if one dog has a special needs diet. That sucks that she's allergic to grain. I have heard great things about the Solid Gold, but have no personal experience with it. Aspen and Misty mentioned Pinnacle, that is what I feed Freckles and Dudley, but I dont' know if they make a formula with no grain.

Well this is day #2 with them on Solid Gold.. And Daisy still refuses to eat it.. Ebony is hungry *I cought her Eating some of Oscars nutro earlier this morning*, but she wont touch the Solid Gold.. Ugh This is really frusterating.. Tikeya loves it.. But the other two hate it.. I a just so frusterated, I cant take the food back either now, because it has been opened.. So I basically spent $70 on Food for Tikeya.. and now I have to buy other stuff for Ebony and Daisy...

I'm sure they will get so hungry they will eventually have to eat it... right??

$58 CAD is about $54 USD.


A completely healthy dog will not starve itself. So, granted everything is okay with her, she will eat eventually. I would give in if she doesn't eat after a few days.

Try mixing a bit of water in. It usually coaxes many dogs to eat a new food(not hot water - destroys heat sensitive nutrients. Just room tempature water.)

I personally feed Innova EVO Red Meat - all of the EVO products are grain free. You may want to try that. Also, if you e-mail them telling them you are looking to switch to a grain-free food, but your dogs are picky, they will send your coupons for $5 off a bag.

Some other grain-free foods include:
Innova EVO: Dog & Reduced Fat
Nature's Variety: Raw Instinct
Timberwolf Organics: Wild & Natural and Ocean Blue
Canine Caviar: Venison & Split Pea Adult

Oh wow thanks Kayann... I didnt realise that those foods were grain free, I know a petsote in town that sells Timberwolf organics, I will phone around and see if I cant find those other brands of food as well. I'll try mixing in some water first, to se4e if that does it.. I think Ebony has a bit of a sensitive stomache because of getting spayed, but Daisy has no excuse not to eat.

Total Pet sells the Grain-Free Go Natural, maybe try that? I bet Petcetera sells it too now. Bon Appetit has Innova EVO (including the low-fat one!) and Nature's Variety Raw Instincts. And the place downtown has alot of good foods, maybe they have something. Moira and Nature's Fare both sell Timberwolf Orgranics.

I would go to Bon Appetit first though, Gary will give you sample bags and if the dog doesn't like the food he will take it back even if half the bag is already gone.

No problem.

If you can, I would go with Innova or Nature's Variety. Timberwolf tends to have really cruddy customer service, hence the reason I switched to Innova.
