solid gold - any problems with it?

[wdawson]

has anyone heard of any problems with solid gold?
two different retail stores all of a sudden are not carrying it anymore and no explaination as to why......i think it might be the cost but who knows.

I haven't heard anything... I know some here stopped carrying it because demand was too low... Did you ask them why?

[wdawson]

yea and they only said it was a head office decision.

[Prin]

That's weird. Is there a way to email the head office?

[wdawson]

yea already done that,now i gotta find a new supplier...guess i better start buying the 33lb bags every 2 weeks too stock up... $65 a bag...oh well kd for a couple weeks...guess it won't kill me.......dog eats better than i do

[Prin]

I recently changed Bilbos food to Solid Gold Wolfking. I have to order if at the store near me. Because it's expensive and people don't buy if often, they don't want to keep it on the shelf.
My dog loves it, but we still have problems with poop - it's not so firm sometimes and it's difficult to pick it up
I would be interested to know if there is any other reason, why sellers don't want to keep it in store.

Did you try cutting back a bit? My doggies' stools were not the greatest until 4 months after I started... But they're both very sensitive. I'd try cutting back a bit first and see how it goes.

Oh, I know one store in Montreal that won't carry it. The owner told me Solid Gold food isn't natural. But she carries Eagle Pack, which IMO is more unnatural than most others that claim to be holistic.

I ran into the stocking issue with Solid Gold as well. I visited the only store in my town listed as a supplier on the SG website (although I've found two others who carry it), and they had discontinued stocking due to low demand. As for the other two, they carry it in such small quantities and so sporadically, it just became impossible to find.

I looked into shipping it, but the fees are astronomical ($20US to ship a 33lb. bag).

I switched over to Timberwolf Organics. The results have been equally good, but I'd still be on Solid Gold if I had my choice.
