Solid Gold Bison Dog Food: Back In Stock
As you may know, the manufacturing contract between Solid Gold and Diamond Pet Foods was terminated in April leaving Solid Gold Health Products For Pets, Inc. with little supply of WolfCub, WolfKing, and Just a Wee Bit dog foods and no definite manufacturing plans.
Solid Gold spent the last 3 months searching for a new manufacturer for the 3 bison foods to no avail. (Solid Gold Hund-n-Flocken was able to be moved to Crosswinds Pet Foods for manufacturing, where all other Solid Gold dry dog and cat food is made.) Making Solid Gold dry pet foods is not like making bread. Many mills do not have the capacity to bring in the line, do not have the technology for fresh meat inclusion, cannot source some of the unique ingredients, etc.
Diamond Pet Foods has agreed to again start making WolfKing, WolfCub, and Just a Wee Bit. They have initiated new quality control protocols including a positive release program. Even though Solid Gold has no indication that their recalled foods were ever contaminated, this extra quality control measure should provide additional reassurance to consumers. For those of you not familiar with a “positive release program”, all batches of food are tested for salmonella at an independent lab before the food is released into distribution. Solid Gold’s other plant, Crosswinds Pet Foods, already operates a positive release program.
All three foods are now in stock at Solid Gold Northland and will begin to be delivered to retail stores today.
This has been a difficult time for both Solid Gold and customers and we greatly thank you for your patience.
To the health & happiness of you and your pet,

Dear Solid Gold,
We bought your product for years, and suddenly there was a big change in your product. My dog “Josh” started getting this brown sludge type material coming out of his back hips and back that took months to clear up. His body would leave a large amount of residue on his bed, and finally I figured it out that it had to be the food, so we stopped feeding our dogs this brand and it finally cleared up. Please let me know what happened to your better quality dog food.

Betty,
Solid Gold has not had recent changes to their formula and remain ever diligent on sourcing the highest quailty ingredients for all their products! We recieve very FEW returns and very FEW customer problem inquiries.
We are able to be most helpful in assisting a customer at the time of the trouble; As we are able to confirm the food is fresh, consider any recent ingredient changes, perhaps a need for a food change; altering fat, calories or protien, etc.
Should you want to discuss your pets diet at any time or returning to Solid Gold, we are happy to assist. We can be reached at 800-706-0807, ask for Jill or Dawn to discuss your dogs diet needs.
Thank you for taking the time to send your question.
