This food is formulated for adult, non-reproducing cats over one year old as kittens and pregnant or nursing mothers have special nutritional requirements. It is important to slowly transition your cat from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5 - 7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness® CORE® by day 7.
CORE is highly palatable so your cat may tend to eat more of this food. Watch initially to see if you need to adjust regular eating patterns. Give your cat access to clean, cool fresh water at all times and feed Wellness® CORE® wet food in combination whenever possible, to increase the level of water in your cat's diet. Nutrition is the foundation of wellbeing, but be sure to give your cat plenty of love, exercise and see your veterinarian regularly!

Kitties Loved This Kibble
By KimD on Dec 4, 2021 top10Contributor
I have 6 cats, 2 are kittens. I keep a self feeder of kibble available at all times. My cats can be ungodly picky. Its a given that at least 1 will snub any particular brand but I have found that if I mix several brands in the feeder that all cats will happily eat it. When I get a new food I always put out a separate bowl to see if they like it or if there is any digestive issues before adding it to the feeder. This variety was well liked on the test run. I would repurchase.

Worms in Dry Food
By whyarethereworms on Jun 11, 2021
I have tried to find a way to contact Wellness, but on the website it just provides contact options for retailers and not people with issues such as this. I got two of these bags because they were on sale. Recently my cat has started to stop eating her dry food completely. This prompted me to check why and I found these tan-brown worms. They hide under/around the little dry food pellets (see pictures). I have never had an issue like this (same environment, same temps) with another dry food brand last summer. But to be sure I cleaned the entire area and obviously the bowls as well and the placemat. I then opened a BRAND NEW bag of the same to be sure. Same little worms.

I am in the process of contacting Chewy about this. … more

Bought by mistake. Thought it was the raw rev. Cats seem to like it almost as much though.

Cat didn’t like it
By Molly on Jun 13, 2021
I really liked the ingredients and protein content of this food. However, my cat did not like this food even when mixing with her old food. I gave this food to some outdoor cats and they ate every piece. This food won’t go to waste but I won’t be repurchasing.

Cats (9) did not like it.
By Carole on Jun 24, 2021
Sorry Wellness - never again. 7 indoor and 2 ferals would not eat. Purchased the original formula, and a bag of Salmon/herring. Neither were liked/eaten.
