Wellness CORE Grain-Free Original Formula Dry Cat Food

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 think they are meal worms, but I am not sure and would prefer if these weren't in the dry food at all. I am definitely disturbed by this and feel terrible I fed it to my cat. I am in the process of contacting Chewy about this. … more

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.

I’ve wanted to try this brand of food for a long time. My cats will not eat it.

Very high quality. This food has sustained my cat who has mega colon for several years now.

Our holistic vet recommended CORE dry food, perhaps mixing with some non-dry (which we haven't done); she says carb / grain-free is best. Our young cats love it, and we're sold.

I have a very picky eater. he was unfortunately not impressed with the purchase.

It confuses me that I actually don’t know if my 8-month cat really likes this food. She ACTS like she refuses to eat it when we look at her. But she eats some when we are asleep or not paying attention to her. Strange cat.

I have 4 Ragdoll cats, two thirteen years, one 10 years and one 5 years old. they all love this food, have beautiful coats and are all very healthy. I start them out very young (after kitten time). I can see why the transition is hard if you are feeding other foods when they are older. This food is so great for them....I have tree males and their is ingredient that take care of urinary track issues that can occur in older males.....vey healthy food, but the younger the cats are the easier to transition. Kitten chow is like candy to cats because of the high calorie count which they need as they are growing to fast.

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

My cat (Ellie) really enjoys this food! Although, to be fair, she will eat anything if I let her (corn husks, plastic, bacon grease, cheese, salad dressing, dog food). I still feel good knowing that she's getting good, high-protein food when she's not trying to steal my lunch!
