My pups love it
June 9, 2019
We have 3 dogs, 2 hunting dogs and 1 husky. The hunting dogs get a more raw diet during hunting season (I feel like this food wouldn’t have enough protein for them when working all day) but in the off season they eat less fancy. I’ve gone through one 15lb bag so far and they like it a lot better than the Purina I was giving them before. Is it the fanciest or best for them? No. But when they are just lounging around the house all day they don’t need high protein food.
*i do give them a weekly multivitamin to make sure they are getting all they need and sprinkle a little oil (olive or coconut) on top from time to time *

Dog wouldn't eat it
July 25, 2019
My dog LOVED the Solimo Premium Chicken and Rice recipe dry dog food, but that flavor is no longer available through the Subscribe & Save program so I switched to this Solimo Basic (Chicken or Beef Flavor) version. My dog will not eat this. She tried but would spit it back out most of the time. She would occasionally eat a bite or two, probably due to her hunger, but most of the time she would let the bowl sit for a day before even trying to eat it. I had to switch to a different brand (which she loves and scarfs down as soon as I put it in the bowl -- similar to what she used to do with the Solimo Premium dog food). Wish they would bring the premium version back to Subscribe & Save.

I'm really loving Amazon's line of products! Having 3 large dogs, we go through dog food very quickly. While I love to save money, I don't want to sacrifice my dogs' diets to save a few bucks. This dog food has better quality ingredients than the name brand competitors and is fractions cheaper! I love that I can get a 40 pound bag shipped to my house once a month and I don't have to go to a store and schlep this much dog food in and out of the cart. Plus, the dogs love it!

Just received today, but as soon as I filled up my doggies bowls, they munched it all down. I was truly surprised. Will be up dating.

My dogs seem to really like it. Good price. The kibble pieces are fairly large for little dogs, see picture. That said my Lhasa Apso/Yorkie mix had no trouble with it.

I have been making my own dogs food for 4 years but wanted to find something more convenient. Good dog food used to be $15 to $20 more expensive than it is in 2019 but still not quite as cheap as I'd like. My home made dog food that I've been feeding my two dogs (20lb boston terrier and 40lb mutt) has been rice, chicken, sweet potato, potassium and sodium salts, brewers yeast and a multivitamin blend as well as powder egg shells for calcium (egg shells contain pure elemental calcium!).
I switched them both from my home cooked food to this food overnight, no transition at all. Neither of them had digestive distress at all. Normal well formed stools the very next day, and every day since. It's been a month and everything has been a-ok!
In addition to the Solimo I also bought the [Diamond All Life Stages Real Meat Recipe Dry Dog Food with Premium Ingredients with Grain & Real Cage Free Chicken 40lb]
I alternate between Solimo and Diamond. This lowers the cost of the DIamond to even lower than what I was spending on homemade dogfood and raises the quality of this food. Sort of a middle ground with the duel benefits of lower cost and higher quality. In addition to lowering the overall cost of feeding it introduces some variety they may appreciate. But who knows; they're dogs, they eat anything anyway :D.
Two months on and they're happy with it, no problems at all.

My dogs will pretty much eat anything, but they almost refuse to eat this Solimo brand food. They'll leave their dog bowl full for most of the day and eat it as a last resort. I feel like I can tell from the dry (almost stale) aroma that it isn't as appetizing as some other brands that my dogs scarf down, like Rachael Ray or Purina. I've bought this food three times, so I know it wasn't just a one time fluke with a bad package.
I've been feeding a stray neighborhood dog this food but even he refuses to eat this until he's absolutely desperate. He ran into our house to eat our indoor dog's fancier food!
It is one of the best values for bulk dog food you can buy on Amazon, especially when I have a lot of dogs to feed. I'll probably be using this to stretch some better, more appetizing food.

I read many bad reviews about the food. However I decided to tried for my 3 furry girls. And they really loved. Kibbles size is perfect for my furry girls I have a Maltese, a Beagle and one labrador. So kibbles must be great size for almost all dogs (in my opinion). All my furry girls liked the food. For the price, is a bargain! Is a big bag of food. Ingredients are exactly as described, and for the price I can tell they’re accordingly and good. I bought the brand Solimo before in others products and all by the moment have been great and accordingly to the price. Also this food is Amazon brand, if your dogs don’t liked you can let know Amazon, they will be sure your 100% satisfaction as customer with the purchase ( I said that by experience). I have to tell that I tried several dog foods for my dogs since I have them, and this one is good for the price. As described. The bag have appearance of been more than 15 pounds. I have to mention that my girls are always up to date with theirs vet visits & healthy girls. Additional to the dog food I choice for my dog girls, I add always supplements to her food and as part of their diets, as per each of my dogs needs. Examples I add: Alaskan Salmon Oil, Hemp Oil, Omega fish oil supplement, food add-ons, among others. I always feed her with quality treats like: non-rawhide treats, dried capelin fish, boiled eggs, dried salmon, among others. Is not just the food that will meet all your pet dietary needs, in my opinion. I agreed the more nutrients have the food the better. This Solimo beef flavor food have the ingredients to provide the nutrients that dogs needs. I try many brands, and types of dog food, and as 4 years dog owner I can said, that Solimo Beef Flavor food is good. Fortunately I have a excellent experience with the Solimo dog food, so I felts satisfied about the decision of trying this dog food. I was surprised how much my girls liked. Hopefully, I know very well each of my girls and her needs, they’re happy furry girls & healthy pets. In my opinion is also very important know your pet/s need and pay attention to your pet care, for always have a healthy & happy pet/s. I added to my review, current photos of my furry girls, this three furry girls are the ones that thumbs up Solimo Beef Flavor Dog Food. :)
BUYER BEWARE: A highly overpriced, cheap knock off of already cheap dog food with high level of dyes
September 30, 2019This is a very cheap knock off of other dog foods that contain dyes. We had bought both the beef and the chicken flavors.
The price is right up there with high end foods, the quality is closer to ol' roy than anything.
If you don't like to clean up nasty, colored dog messes (our dogs all threw it back up), we recommend to pass on this, spend a bit more money and buy higher quality brands.
As for flavor, can't speak to it as we didn't try it, but based on the dogs' reactions, it's not very palatable.
NOT WORTH THE BOTHER EVEN AT HALF THE PRICE.

I like the 40lb size. I can pour it in the bin. I don't think I could lift a 50. The dogs like it better than the brand I bought at the store. Can't beat the convenience of delivery to my door (when they actually do deliver to my door 🤨)
