Ingredient Review
Our review of Solid Gold Barking at the Moon High Protein Grain-Free Beef begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Beef. Beef is meat from any cattle breed. In pet food, beef can be fresh, freeze-dried, dehydrated, ground, or finely processed into beef meal.
The second ingredient is Ocean Fish Meal. Ocean fish meal is cooked, ground meal made from fish meat and other edible parts of an ocean fish of any species. The ocean fish meal in pet food is usually included as a source of protein although it may offer other nutrients as well.
The third ingredient is Pea Protein. Pea protein is a good source of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. While the pea protein in pet food isn’t normally a primary protein source, it is easy to digest and it’s also a good source of fiber.
The fourth ingredient is Potatoes. Potatoes are versatile starchy root vegetables that provide carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and some fiber. In pet food, potatoes can add texture and flavor while replacing other starches. Many grain-free and gluten-free pet foods contain potatoes.
The fifth ingredient is Dried Eggs. Natural liver flavor is dried liver that has been pulverized into a fine powder and applied via a spraying process. In pet food, natural liver flavor can increase palatability. It’s often used to coat kibbles.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Solid Gold Barking at the Moon High Protein Grain-Free Beef, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

Nutritional Analysis
Your adult dog needs a balance of macro and micronutrients to thrive. A food formulated for adult maintenance or all life stages is made to meet these needs. While there can be a lot of variation in actual calorie density, adult dog foods are generally intended to provide for basic calorie needs of the average active dog. In addition to satisfying their energy needs, these foods provide the protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and other nutrients your adult dog needs to survive. Again, not all adult foods are the same, so you may have to search around for the right fit for your dog.
