Solid Gold Expands Air-Dried Toppers Availability

— March 9, 2026 — Marketing
Solid Gold has expanded the national distribution of its Air-Dried Toppers to Petco stores nationwide and online. This move is positioned to respond to growing consumer demand for high-protein, minimally processed options that enhance pets' existing feeding routines.

Solid Gold's Air-Dried Toppers are formulated with animal protein as the primary ingredient and gently air-dried to preserve natural nutrients and flavor. They offer a flexible way for pet parents to personalize mealtime by adding variety, functional benefits, and enhanced palatability to the bowl.

The Air-Dried Toppers product line is designed with digestive health as a central focus, reflecting the brand's longstanding holistic nutrition philosophy, and supports high-protein nutrition while making meals more appealing for selective eaters.
