My dogs loved it
I have a couple of senior dogs, one is a picky eater and the other would need anything and is overweight. I used to give them Solid Gold's senior formula and while the overweight one would eat anything, the picky eater didn't really like it and I had to mix it with some other food or cut fruits/vegetables to get her to eat. With this Ocean Fish Meal Weight Control formula, both my dogs loved it! It's good for the one that needs to lose weight and the picky eater also enjoyed it enough to finish her food without having to mix in other foods.

This food is FANTASTIC. I have a pescatarian, gluten intolerant rescue dog who has struggled with all foods I have tried. He turns 8 this week and has been gaining weight and licking constantly due to allergies, etc. On this food for 4 weeks his coat is beautiful, his licking has stopped, less poo bags needed now, and he has lost a bit of weight and perked up!! He has much more energy now. Thank you for producing such a wonderful product. I am now going to switch my other dog (age 6) over to the non-senior version of this food. I live in Dartmouth Nova Scotia and I am having a hard time getting local pet stores to carry your brand. Global Pet foods in Halifax carries your brands, sometimes, but they tell me it takes 3 months to get in stock. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated.

As we know, bulldogs are prone to so many issues. Not only is he allergic to just about everything, but he was born with pancreatitis. After trying many different foods we landed on this one and he has flourished ever since. No pancreatitis attacks, no hair loss, and he will actually eat it! I also love that it is made locally and family owned. I wish this was also available potatoe free, but otherwise it’s perfect.

This is the best dog food I have found for my three Long Hair Dachshunds. They are all over 11 years old and have been on this senior feed for years. Dachshunds are known for having back issues, skin allergies and difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. My 14 year old that I have had since he was 8 weeks, has never been to the vet for anything more than necessary vaccinations, nails and teeth cleaning. None of my dogs have ever had any skin issues or ANY other kind of health issue. I attribute alot of this to a great, nutritious dog food! Also to be mentioned, they are not given people food, except for snacks (carrots and blueberries).

This is an excellent food for my senior dog. Due to a higher fat level in her lipid panel, we need to find a food with half the fat and this was an excellent choice. She is an 11 year old Plott Hound and she loves this food and it is a great choice for her health. Thank you for making such a wonderful brand of food for our dog that isn’t only grain free, but low in fat and makes Gracie feel full after eating.
