Name of Product: Dried-N-Alive Dog & Cat food

2 Features: Easy to use and Wonderful list of ingredients

2 Benefits: Dogs and Cats alike adore the product. A lot easier to use than can food.

Con: Might be a bit pricey, but it is an awesome addition to my pets Solid Gold diets.

Review: This is just a great product. I have been a faithful Solid Gold for over 10 years and I feed mostly dry food to both my cats and dogs but I hate dealing with mess of can food this Dried-N-Alive food will be a great replacement for the can food I use. Still a strong believer in Solid Gold but this new product will be something I continue to use.

“Great Multi Use Food”

Desiree L – Bloomington MN – Dogs: 9 Cats: 2

Name of Product: DNA Cat and Dog Food

2 Features: real ingredients, grain free

2 Benefits: Palatable, easy to use

Con:  It’s an expensive food, understandably, but costs too much to feed multiple dogs. I used it in multiple ways to extend the amount I had been given.

Review: This was a great food! I have one dog who is not food motivated in any way but LOVED the DNA so I used it at a kibble topper by adding a small amount to her dry food, she gobbled it up! Also, I used it for training treats for the same dog because it’s so tasty, she loved training!

Also, my cats are two PICKY feline ladies, but they LOVED the DNA as well. I gave it dry, not too much interest, but with some water it moistened up without the nasty mushy effect most foods get and they “chowed” it down so fast! I might feed it to them more often because its more cost effective to feed it to them with only having two cats.

THANK YOU SOLID GOLD! you guys are an AMAZING company and have great products! I foster, as well as take in strays. Your samples help me feed my pets so I can help others! You guys rock!

“Love This Food”

Jennifer M. – Minneapolis, Minnesota – Cats: 2

Name of Product: Dried -N-Alive Cat Food

2 Features: Air-dried raw food; very healthy ingredients

2 Benefits: Easy to store and prepare. My cats love the taste but don’t overeat as they do with canned or dry food.

Con: Not sure of the price so can’t comment on that yet.

Review: This food works great as a healthy supplement to my cats’ regular diet. They like the taste and have no issues with digesting it. It seems to satisfy their hunger as they don’t eat it all at once or hang around their food dishes wanting more. I have tried other raw foods, both in a dried form and food that had to be kept frozen until ready to eat. Both types took more time and care to prepare and neither were as palatable to my cats as this brand is and I ended up throwing much of it away. Not an issue with this particular raw food source. Am very pleased. Thank you.

2 Features: Healthy ingredients and flavor the dogs love

2 Benefits: All my dogs loved the taste and they seemed to have more energy

Con: It is pretty expensive to feed this product to 5 dogs daily, so I rotate it in once a week.

Review: All 5 of my dogs loved the product. I’ve used the product in their toys when I leave for work and they rush to grab a toy to get the product out. Not one of my dogs turned up their nose at the product–especially my 2 fussy eaters. They couldn’t get enough of it.

Name of Product: Dried -N- Alive Pet Food

2 Features: no starch fillers and balanced nutrition

2 Benefits: dogs love it dry or wet

Con: none

Review: They loved every bag and it made no difference if it was eaten dry or I added warm water to soften it. I mostly add water to the kibbles toward the end of the bag when it gets very crumbly because the older dogs coughs on the small crumbs.

“Mixed”

Mary R – Buffalo, MN – Dogs: 5 Cats: 0

Name of Product: DNA dog food

2 Features: Seems like healthy stuff

2 Benefits: They liked it but……..

Con: Edges to rough, food to dry.

Review: They barfed up the beef multiple times, all 5 of them choked and gagged trying to swallow this food dry. Edges of food seemed rough, like it could potentially scratch throats. Tried soaking food and one still barfed it up. Not really enjoyable for either myself or my pups. I would not feed this at all just because of all the issues it caused and it wasn’t with just one dog, it caused issues with all 5 dogs.

 “Dogs did the ”Happy Dance” whenever I pulled the bag out”

Ginny N. -Plymouth, MN -Dogs: 2 Cats: 0

Name of Product: Dried N Alive Beef, chicken and venison

2 Features: No Grain, potato and other starch fillers

2 Benefits: Nice size of kibble, can also use as training treat

Con: High in protein and crude fat if you have dog that needs to watch weight

Review: As someone who usually uses a raw diet, I was impressed with all the natural ingredients used such as dried apples, peas, carrots, spinach, blueberries, and pumpkin. The dogs liked it dry but were more excited when rehydrated with warm water and more resembled raw. Nice variety of proteins to choose from with the chicken, beef and venison with salmon.

Matt M – St Paul, MN – Dogs: 1 Cats: 2

Name of Product: Dried –N- Alive

2 Features: No fillers and simple ingredients

2 Benefits: Dog loves it and he produces less poop to clean up

Con: To expensive for my budget, but the smaller bags are good for using as treats and reasonable price for that.

Review: I put this in my dogs toy that holds treats and it keeps him busy while I’m at work. This is a healthy treat and just the right size to put in his football.

The cats love this as well and I add a little water, as I know they need more moisture in their food.

Con: This is way too expensive to feed on a daily bases. I’m more likely to buy the smaller bags an using as a treat and watch for sales and coupons.

“Great Product”

Name of Product: Dried – N – Alive

2 Features: Nutritional Ingredients, Makes great training treats

2 Benefits: Easy to rehydrate for training treats. Our dogs love the taste.

Con: Expensive to feed other than as treats.
In some of the bags, the pieces are smashed in to a powder. I just top dress the regular food with the powder.

Review:

 “Not a Fan”

Katie P- Eagan, MN -Dogs: 1 Cats: 13

Name of Product: Dried N Alive cat food

2 Features: no fillers, next best thing to raw

2 Benefits: can be stored easily, real meat first ingredient

Con: Doesn’t look like the real food, it needs to look less processed.

Review: I feed 13 cats and I have to have 8 of them like something before I even consider buying it. The Dried N Alive got 5. It looks like wet gravel and doesn’t have much of a smell. Several of my cats took a sniff and walked away, they wouldn’t even try it. I did have a few that seemed to really like it, but not enough to say that this is something that I would recommend. Also, you need to let it sit and rehydrate and my cats don’t like me getting the food out and then having to wait to eat.

“Love it!”

Julia H. – St. Paul, MN- Dogs: 1

Name of Product: Dried-N-Alive Dog Food

2 Features: Natural ingredients & Close to feeding raw

2 Benefits: Easy to feed & dog loves it

Con: Expensive for a big dog, but worth putting in the rotation or using as training treats.

Review: This is a great, easy way for your dog to get almost all of the benefits of a raw food diet without any hassle. The lamb version rehydrates a little faster than beef, but both are good to go within 10 minutes- a great time to train the dog to wait quietly on her bed to get a fantastic food reward! My dog also loved to eat this dry, so it worked really well for healthy, on-the-go training treats.

“Love the high quality”

Nancy B. – Minneapolis, MN – Dogs: 4 Cats: 1

Name of Product: Dried-N-Alive

2 Features: Great ingredients & processing

2 Benefits: Even my very persnickety kitty likes it!

Con: none

Review: This is a fantastic product! I feed my dogs half raw & half processed food and this DNA food is an awesome choice for the processed part of the diet. And, truly, it has very little processing. I’m impressed with the list of ingredients and love that there are none sourced from China. I was quite pleased to see that my cat was willing to try it — it has been a journey to try and get her willing to accept healthier food — and this one she likes. I also like to use this as a high value reward for the dogs — they will do anything for one of these chunks!

“Loved it!”

Katie P – Eagan, MN – Dogs: 1 ats: 12

Name of Product: Dried-N-Alive Dog Food

2 Features: compact packaging, no fillers

2 Benefits: my dog loved it, real meat as first ingredient

Con: More expensive than the wet food that I’m currently feeding, so will only feed once in a while as a treat

Review: My dog loved it. She would lick the bowl. I noticed that the Beef formula was her favorite, she was really excited about that one. The other formulas she liked, but I could tell that she wasn’t as excited. But I wish it could be rehydrated a little faster, since I always forget to start preparing her food 30 minutes in advance and that is how long it says the food takes to rehydrate.

“Dogs Loved It”

Irene M – Duluth, MN Dogs: 2 Cats: 0

Name of Product: Dried N Alive

2 Features: Ingredients & convenience

2 Benefits: dogs loved it and didn’t want to wait for it absorb the water

Con: Too high in protein. I would need to use this only on lure coursing weekends for the added energy but is too high for normal use. Fat Whippets is not a pretty thing.

Review: I find it very easy to use but hard to tell exactly how much to give them to not over do it. It would take some time to adjust to the needs of my specific dogs.

Name of Product: Dried-N-Alive Cat Food

2 Features: Content with this added to soft food as a topping. Tasty.

2 Benefits: Kept them full between soft food feedings. No fillers.

Con: none

Review: Seemed to like all the Dried-N-Alive that I fed them and I think it made their soft food more tasty and appealing by putting this on top either dried or mixed with warm water then added to the top of the soft food. Sometimes put the dried in with the hard food.

Review: This is a versatile product! I use it as a top dressing for my dogs.
I also use it as treats. This would be good for travelers and especially people that camp with their dogs as it is very light weight.
It doesn’t really break down when wet like other dehydrated products. Our dogs LOVE DNA!

“Dried-N-Alive”

Theresa D – Minneapolis, MN – Dogs: 4 Cats: 2

Name of Product: DNA Dried-N-Alive

2 Features: Excludes starch fillers, easier to use than raw fresh meat

2 Benefits: Felt better about food quality, didn’t feel need to add nutrients to their food, cat’s anal glands did not plug with this product

Con:  All the pets required less quantity of this food so I had to use a measuring cup. In particular, the cats never ate old food, and their food was too rich for the dogs so I had to toss it.
Also, in spite of the initial good results, the cats were less fond of the beef based product. This included all sorts of games, like adding homemade chicken broth, fish oil, or other meat broths. I simply had to not give them too much, significantly less than I would have thought they needed. In order to sufficiently moisten the food, I had to add a lot more water to that bowl. You might want to use a smaller bowl with an animal who has trouble holding their water.

Review: The dog with supposed food allergies didn’t have a negative reaction to any flavor.
This is the best weight reduction I’ve gotten in the fat cat, with the thinner one doing just fine. (they are fed in one bowl, twice per day .)
The cat with plugging anal glands didn’t have a problem the entire time – this was nice.
All their coats seem shinier and noticeably softer.

“No on fish flavors”

Carolyn P – Roseville, MN – Cats: 7

Name of Product: Dried-N-Alive Salmon & Liver formula

2 Features: Grain -free, no refrigerator/freezer necessary

2 Benefits: comparable to raw food, compact and easy to store

Con: Would have preferred a flavor without fish; prefer not to feed any fish flavored foods for multiple reasons. Don’t like the waiting period for rehydrating.

Review: I tried the fish flavor which caused diarrhea in one cat and therefore I stopped feeding cats the food. I also didn’t like the delay in feeding because the food had to be rehydrated. Using raw food is easier for me than using this food.

Con: no cons

Review: if the cats could rank the 3 DNA formulas in order of favorite it would be this: salmon and liver #1, turkey and rabbit #2, and beef and tuna #3. They liked this food especially when mixed with the wet food, the black cats liked it dry; I think that this was a novel flavor for them (rabbit) and they still liked it.

Barbara G – Mpls, MN -Dogs: 2

Name of Product: Dried-n-Alive dog food

2 Features: ingredients met standards of AAFCO–made in USA

2 Benefits: added to their normal dry was an incentive to eat well

Con: none

Review: This was the best product for both dogs that I have tried…I use it as an incentive for them to eat ”all” their food at one time…and it worked for one of the dogs. I do not know the cost, so I have not evaluated whether I would gradually switch to this. I did notice that their ”poop” was even firmer, which makes it easier to remove from the grass in the ”lovely” wet weather we have enjoyed of late. I also liked that it seemed to work dry and wet , which makes it easier for me.

“Not immediately a hit with my gang.”

Sandra I – Brooklyn Center, MN – Cats: 3

Name of Product: DNA Dried-N-Alive (Turkey & Rabbit/Beef & Tuna formulas)

2 Features: Small 6 oz package equals 1 lb. of raw food; no need to freeze as with most raw food.

2 Benefits: Mostly meat with other ”good” ingredients; a wonderful way to introduce raw food to the diet.

Con: The chunks were too chewy for my cats even after hydrating. I ended up grinding it up fine and adding to the canned food.

Review: Out of the 3 cats only 1 cat ate this stuff at first. (He eats anything). The other 2 cats tried it once and then refused to eat this at all. Tried mixing it in with canned food and they ate all around the chunks and the chunks were all that was left in their bowls. I finally tried grinding a tablespoon or so up and then added it to the wet food and now they all eat it. I would say this is kind of a pain even a good as this product is at least for my 2 fussy cats.

Con: none. a Perfect food to add to my dogs diet

Review: I have small dogs from 3 to 16 lbs. My smaller ones had a bit of trouble with it dry as it was pretty hard for them. I found that covering it in warm water and just microwaving it really softened it up quickly. I fed it as a meal and as a topping to mix in to their dry food. My Dogs LOVE this food.

2 Benefits: My dog loved the food and cleaned her bowl thoroughly

Con: My dog didn’t like to wait for the food to soften. More expensive than other food so would probably have to use as a supplement

Review: My dog loved this food! She waited impatiently for it to soften in water but after feeding for a few days I realized it didn’t need to sit as long as recommended. This food was an added treat for her and I was sorry when it was gone. I would like to try it for a longer period to see how it managed her weight and what long term benefits may be realized.

Con: A little extra time to rehydrate.

Review: When we started to mix in Dried-N-Alive food to our 9-year-old dog’s mealtime she started to practically knock the food out of our hands before getting a chance to add it to her dish. She gets really excited for mealtime with this food and has been very energized and playful lately. We like the healthy ingredients but haven’t yet determined which flavor we like best. We also have only served dry as we don’t typically get a chance to prepare meals in advance.

Review: It’s a good food to have on hand for back up, or for regular meals. I used it in addition to their regular kibble, and they enjoy the taste. I like the fact that it stores well, and is healthy.

“Hearty Stew For Your Dog!”

Dominic B – Mendota Heights, MN – Dogs: 1 Cats: 0

Name of Product: Dried-N-Alive Dog Food

2 Features: healthy ingredients, high meat content

2 Benefits: dog goes crazy for food & makes her drink less later

Con: More expensive than other foods, longer wait times to rehydrate leads to a doggie coup, so mixing in typical kibble has allowed it to last longer and the food can be served dry as well.

Review: Dog enjoyed immensely, turned into a pile of drool waiting for the food to rehydrate. The serving size was not super clear but overall I would buy to help supplement the diet. A little expensive but would get again.
