Wellness CORE Grain-Free Original Formula Dry Cat Food

I have three cats and one is diabetic. They all get three canned meals a day and I always have some of this dry food out as my youngest seems to favor dry more than canned. He's kind of a little tyke so that's why I can't completely eliminate dry food in my household. The carb content on this dry food is 14.17% on a dry matter basis. The other day I accidentally bought Wellness Core Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey & Chicken Meal dry. My diabetic cat, whose blood glucose readings average at 275, has had readings at over 500 since eating some of the Chicken, Turkey & Chicken Meal dry. I called Wellness Core and the carb content on that product is 29.35%. That's double and surely explains why I have three cats and one is diabetic.

So if your cat likes this product, stay with it. If you're thinking of trying it for the first time, give it a shot. Stay away from high-carb dry foods as much as possible. … more

vet recommended a few companies for my cats change in diet. The one I choose needed a vet response to order, which did not happen in time. My 1 yr old cats have a pre-diagnosis of kidney problems with elevated BUN. I still have not brought them back for additional blood and urine analysis. My cats will nibble on this, but not overly thrilled to eat

Was trying to switch her from Science Diet to something healthier but she didn't like it. Switched to Instinct and she loves that.

I thought this food was wonderful. Solve my poor cats stomach problems. What I didn’t know was that it was forming struvite crystals in the poor guys bladder, which caused blockages and severe pain, with the potential to kill him. I figured it was just just incompatible with our boy, but decided to do some investigation. This turns out that there are many occurrences where CORE Wellness has been the culprit of this in cats. I do not recommend buying this for your cat. Never again.

I had to change from Ideal Balance to another dry food for my precious 6 year old Siamese. After great deal of research, I settled on Wellness CORE. Hunter loves it. I am so pleased with Chewy especially now during this pandemic. I don't even have to think about going to a pet store even if it is curb side delivery.

Unfortunately the second try did not work any better. That's nothing against the food, it must be my cat. My cat loves his Purina, it is about the only thing he will eat. Even when I throw in a little mix to get some "healthier" food into him, like this food, he eats around that stuff and goes for the Purina. My local shelter will again be happy to take it off my hands.

My cats have been eating Purina Beyond grain free cat food since they were kittens (they are now 6 and 4). They are very healthy with beautiful coats, but as they get older and are more likely to gain weight, I started looking for a higher protein/lower carb alternative, and thought I would try this one. I am sure it is excellent quality, nutritious food; but my non-picky cats decided it wasn’t for them. I started by mixing a small amount of it with their old food, and gradually switching the proportions. They would pick out the pieces of the old food to eat, and leave the Wellness! I think part of the problem was that the pieces were too small - it was more like kitten food.

I have 2 9 year old cats who are inside/outside guys. They have eaten Blue for years. I decided to switch after researching cat foods again. The guys love it and seem to be more content after eating. Core seems to suit both of them nicely.Their coats are glistening and there has not been anything negative with this food. I also feed my Greyhound Core Wellness and it has been the BEST food for her also and she had a sensitive stomach like Greys have been known to have.

I purchased this for our four cats for the high protein content especially for our senior cat. Unfortunately, after mixing it with their other food that they are now that they are just eating this food by itself they do not like it. Disappointed my cats don’t like this healthy food. (My wallet is lamenting this purchase too)

My cats had 0 issues switching from their old cat food to this one. They’ve even lost some weight as I had 3 extremely chunky cats. They look awesome now ! Much higher quality food. They all love it. No tummy issues and I have 1 really sensitive kitty. If you’re thinking about switching do it. It’s so worth it.
