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!
Supporting Your Cat's Optimal Health to the CORE
Wellness CORE follows the nutritional philosophy that pets, based on their primal ancestry, thrive on a diet mainly comprised of meat. CORE formulas are packed with quality animal protein without fillers or grains, plus botanicals and nutritional supplements. These unique, grain-free recipes support and nurture your pet, contributing to his inner wellbeing all the way through to his core.
Why is CORE Different?
Unlike many grain-free diets, Wellness CORE considers your pet's whole health by ensuring the overall nutritional equation remains appropriate for everyday feeding. Higher protein can also mean higher fat, minerals and calories. By thoughtfully selecting specialized ingredients and managing nutritional ratios, CORE delivers protein-focused nutrition thoughtfully - with balance, not excess.
Fresh, Whole Food Ingredients
Wellness CORE provides a balanced profile of high-quality, natural ingredients appropriate for everyday feeding. These grain-free recipes contain absolutely no meat by-products, artificial colors, flavorings, preservatives, corn, wheat or soy.
CRANBERRIES
Excellent source of Vitamin C and unique natural source of tannins (astringents found in plants) that help prevent harmful bacteria from thriving in the urinary tract.
DRIED KELP
Excellent source of iron, iodine, potassium and trace minerals as well as Vitamins A, D, B12 and folic acid, and has a high digestible protein level.
YUCCA SCHIDIGERA EXTRACT
Supplies good quantities of iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, and silicon, and is thought to reduce stool and urine odors.
CHICORY ROOT EXTRACT
Contains vitamin C, an antioxidant, and provides important health benefits as a natural source of inulin, a soluble fiber which serves as a prebiotic.
GROUND FLAXSEED
Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which improve the shine of the pet's coat and high in fiber which helps move food through the digestive system.
About Wellness

Their diverse team of animal lovers, nutritionists and vets has only one mission: to help you provide your pet a healthy, happy, long life through the power of natural nutrition.

my cat doesn’t like it
By lengzhuu on Nov 13, 2020
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.

Fantastic food
By Wenbar on Aug 19, 2020
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.

Works Well For My Diabetic Cat
By NotChewy on Jul 31, 2020
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. 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.

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

Great cat food!
By Hannah on Aug 31, 2020
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!

Vet recommend company, rep recommend change in my order
By CChloe on Aug 1, 2020
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

Better than the average kibble.
By Catty on Sep 22, 2020
Since I feed my cats mainly wet food, I chose this one because it has a higher protein content, less additives and lower carbohydrates.

Didn't care for
By Ayoung on Jul 18, 2020
Was trying to switch her from Science Diet to something healthier but she didn't like it. Switched to Instinct and she loves that.

Hunter loves it
By Huntersfood on Apr 5, 2020
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.

Struvite Crystals
By adgjcv on Apr 3, 2020
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 guess it is ok
By Anna on Mar 9, 2020
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.
