I just found these freeze-dried beef patties by Solid Gold and was concerned about the ground bone that is in them. I would like some information about feeding dogs products containing ground bones. Also, I have seen some foods that contain egg products while others specifically state that their foods do NOT contain any egg products--are egg products healthy or not?
In addition, I have been reading the threads about Solid Gold's change of ingredients in a few of their foods--has anyone heard anything about their Hund-n-Flocken adult lamb formula? That is what our two goldens are currently eating, but our youngest one is extremely active and is greatly in need of a much higher protein/fat diet. We tried SG's new Barking at the Moon line, but it is now made with beef and our vet is not carrying it. We believe that she is allergic to beef and/or chicken, so I would like to stay with a lamb formula or perhaps try a venison or duck formula (with low grain content).
It is difficult finding the ideal food for her. Here are her stats:
-1.5 year old golden retriever (spayed female)
-67 pounds of muscle & bone--no visible fat
-Extremely active
-Allergic to beef and/or chicken
-Eats 6 CUPS PER DAY of Solid Gold Hund-n-Flocken and still maintains her skinny, muscular figure but does not put on any fat or additional weight
-Her food is supplemented with cooked wild salmon (NOT farm-raised)
I want to find the ideal food for her; one that is the right type of meat, contains high percentages of protein/fats for VERY active dogs, has a low grain content, and is free of nasty artifical and chemical substances. Any suggestions??? I would appreciate some thorough ingredient analysis from anyone who has the chance to research this. Thanks.
