The Solid Gold in Fort Keisha #ChewyInfluencer

When Chewy called and said they were sending me some Solid Gold, I was ecstatic! I was imagining all the bling and gold bullions that would arrive. I decided to head out to Fort Knox** to get a head start on my new-found fortune. I brought along Tuna R'Son Kitty for the ride and for protection. A girl has to protect her gold.

When I arrived home with my loot, the box from Chewy was waiting for me. I was a bit disappointed when TW opened it and there was nothing gold and shiny in the box—just some cat food. The artwork on the label is very cool. However, free always tastes better and means more gold in my pocket so I couldn't wait for TW to open a can.

Lemme give you the 411 on Solid Gold. The brand was founded in 1974 with a line of dog food. It wasn't until 2000 that they introduced wet cat food to their product line. Since then they've developed a line of natural and holistic dry foods, canned foods, treats, and supplements for both dogs and cats.

All the Solid Gold selections looked good but we could only choose one so TW decided I'd like the Five Oceans Sardines and Tuna Recipe in Gravy. She knows I like tuna but wanted to give me something slightly different. This grain- and gluten-free recipe is made with sardines and tuna, tapioca and canola oil with vitamins and minerals added. It's a nutritionally complete and balanced meal for both adult cats and growing kittens and is ideal as an accompaniment to dry food, to feed alone or as a treat. Unfortunately, it does contain that evil Menadione Sodium Bisulfate Complex synthetic vitamin K that really shouldn't be in it. I hope anybody with Solid Gold will take note of this.

This is all well and good but did this little ghetto kitteh like it? Yes! Although when TW tried to photograph me, I ran like hell. She had to chase me around the condo so I'd continue eating. Once I tried it; I liked it; however, I only allowed this one photo to be taken so you'll have to take my word for it. Unlike most wet food, I even ate it the next day after it had been refrigerated and the day after that.

A few days later TW opened another can and I still liked it. I'll be honest, kitties. I like it best with a bit of crust on it. As is the case with all wet food, I lick the gravy and eat some of the "meat" though I ate more than usual. I don't ever finish nothing [sic]. Due to the fact that I don't drink H2O, TW scores it as a win when I lick up the gravy. This is good sh stuff!

The only problem TW sees is they sent the 6-oz. cans for review even though they come in 3-oz cans. C'mon, Chewy, what's that all about? That means she has to refrigerate over half of it and none of the cat food lids we have fit on the cans. They should come with their own resealing lids. These cans are wider than 3-oz. cans but not as wide as traditional 6-oz. cans. Those shower caps she bought come in handy.

The Five Oceans Solid Gold line we were offered has five different recipes: New Moon Blended Tuna in gravy, Sardines & Tuna in gravy, Mackerel & Tuna in gravy, SeaBream & Tuna in gravy and Shrimp & Tuna in gravy. They come in 6-oz. and 3-oz. cans. Chewy.com does offer a few flavors in another Solid Gold line that don't contain fish. Right now, it has the CK stamp of approval. I'm a cat, I may change my mind tomorrow.
