SALT DIVIDER

Beef, Chicken, Beef Bone Broth, Rice, Pumpkin, Carrots, Animal Plasma, Salt*The Salt Divider. Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so everything after this point is present in an even smaller amount., Potassium Chloride, Minerals (Zinc Oxide, Reduced Iron, Sodium Selenite, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Amino Acid Complex, Potassium Iodide), Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Niacin Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Beta-Carotene, Biotin, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid), Choline Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate

Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so everything after the divider is present in an even smaller amount.

NUTRITION WITH THE WATER TAKEN OUT

Wet food is mostly water, so the label’s percentages look small next to kibble. Taking the water out is the only fair way to compare it with other foods.

NUTRIENT ON THE LABEL WATER OUT WET FOOD MEDIAN
PROTEIN 10.0% 45.5% 43.2%
FAT 3.0% 13.6% 22.2%
FIBER 2.0% 9.1% -
CARBS (EST.) - 22.7% -

Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.

RECALL HISTORY // SOLID GOLD

1 FDA Recall On Record

MAY 8, 2012
SALMONELLA

Dog Food Matched by brand. The notice lists the exact products and lots.

None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

SAME LINE

Other Flavors

Green Cow 53.8% Mighty Mini Turkey 41.7% Leaping Waters Grain Free Fish 36.4% Barking at the Moon Beef 43.2%

Protein with the water taken out, read the same way.

One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, calories, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a pouch. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
