I’m honestly not 100% positive but I know Solid Gold has been around since the 70’s – I’ve always assumed they were one of the first, if not the first “holistic” dog food manufacturer. I know Eagle Pack as been around since the 70’s too. I think holistic pet food really started to gain popularity in the 2000’s – especially after the Menu recall. Also – keep in mind Iams didn’t used to be as bad as it is now. I can’t say what the exact ingredients were in Iams and Eukanuba back in the day (pre-proctor and gamble aquisition) as I was only a kid – but I know Iams/Eukanuba used to be one of the highest quality foods on the market. I’ve heard Science Diet used to be better too. I know when I was a kid we fed our dogs Dad’s and while it definitely was still a bad food back then, I don’t think it was nearly as bad as it is now. It used to be just corn and by-products. Now they’ve also added colorings, propylene glycol, etc.
