About Solid Gold Health Products
Solid Gold Health Products For Pets, Inc., has been a pioneer of natural, holistic animal nutrition since 1974. They now have a line of seven dry foods, canned foods as well as nutritional supplements, treats and topical products.
Solid Gold specializes in the development of "non-allergenic" products, which work together to enhance total health, boost up the immune system and protect against disease.
Solid Gold always uses wholesome USDA Choice lamb and beef meal, USDA grade I and II grains, and healthful monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils.
Solid Gold never uses chemical preservatives such as BHA, BHT and Ethoxyquin, which may be related to some diseases in pets. Solid Gold never uses wheat, corn or soy, which are often genetically modified and common allergens for dogs, causing them to have uncomfortable skin disorders, chew incessantly at their feet or suffer from chronic problems such as ear infections. Solid Gold never adds animal or poultry fat to our products, as these are saturated fats that may contribute to heart disease and certain types of cancer.
Solid Gold is also an industry leader in the use of revolutionary foil "barrier" packaging for all our dry food products, which means they don't have to use chemical preservatives or flavor enhancers. Barrier packaging keeps food fresher for longer, maintains palatability and helps to sustain the potency of valuable vitamins and other nutrients, which may deplete over time with conventional paper bags.
Solid Gold's Philsophy
The concept behind holistic health care is that the body should be viewed as a whole structure and not regarded just as a collection of individual parts. All systems within an organism are connected with one another in some way, and any imbalance may disrupt other body systems before physical signs are seen.
All aspects of a disorder should be considered in the planning and implementation of a treatment regime, as opposed to treating only the apparent clinical signs themselves. For example, a dog who suffers from chronic skin irritation, ear infections or chews incessantly at his feet, should not necessarily be treated with steroids, antibiotics or topical applications. The cause should be determined and addressed. Foot-chewing and chronic ear infections are classic signs of food allergies in dogs. Often, a simple change in diet combined with support for the immune system, will rectify the problem within days.
Viewing the body as an inseparable structure, and treating the cause of disease, (as opposed to ‘splitting’ the body into its individual parts and trying to treat only the visible signs), allows that body, which is fundamentally sound, to return itself to normal.
Solid Gold selects ingredients from around the world, to produce foods and supplements, which can be used in conjunction with each other. This promotes a healthful whole body, whose systems work in harmony and are enhanced to their maximum potential. The result is increased resistance to disease, relief from pain, and an enhanced state of general well-being.
History
The founder and owner of Solid Gold Health Products for Pets, is Sissy Harrington-McGill. Sissy flew to Germany in 1974, to buy the fawn son of the 1974 World Champion Great Dane and the brindle nephew of the 1973 World Champion Great Dane. She has raised Danes since 1958.
While in Germany, she found that the German Danes were very healthy and lived to be 11 to 13 years old. The American Danes lived to be only 7 to 9 years old. Sissy believed this difference may have been nutrition-related and gathered samples of some German dog foods.
Upon returning to the United States, she had the various foods analyzed to determine how they might lengthen the life span of the American Danes. She then developed the Solid Gold Hund-n-Flocken (which means ‘dog food flakes’ in German).
After Sissy introduced the first natural dog food to the United States in 1974, the FDA told her there was no such thing as natural dog food. She told the FDA that natural dog food had been available for 20 years in Germany.
Thus began Solid Gold Health Products For Pets, Inc., The Holistic Animal Nutrition Center. Sissy has a Master’s Degree from Columbia University in New York City. She began a doctoral program at the University of California, Berkeley and completed her coursework at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Solid Gold is a member of the Organic Trade Association and was chosen as the United States Chamber of Commerce Small Business Association, California Exporter Of The Year. Solid Gold Health Products are exported worldwide.
