Wellness Core Kitten Dry: Turkey and Chicken LiverI did a lot of research when I got my new kitten. It's my second cat and the first one had care decisions made by my parents because they were footing the bill. After researching I came up with two high quality dry foods. Wellness Core Kitten Dry and Orijen. Orijen is supposed to be better and I've read all kinds of reviews and places that say it's so. However, I came across information that says cats are getting sick from eating it. Further research indicated that this is a canadian company and owners had glowing reviews of the food when it came from their canadian facility, but they opened a facility in kentucky and all american purchases come from this facility. They reported vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, dry looking hair, etc... I can't say how much of this is the Orijen food and how much is outside factors, but they coincide to closely for me to take a chance. Instead I went with my #2, which was Wellness Core Kitten dry.I don't feed this exclusively, but per directions and supplemented with the same flavor and line of kitten wet food. My kitten was abandoned at an acquaintances house at 2 weeks old. I got her at 5 weeks. She was on an adult wet food. I did my research and switched her to Wellness Complete Kitten Pate. They said that you need to give a kitten multiple meals a day or basically free feed till they're 12 months old, because they need it all to grow. I can't do multiple meals a day because I work. Instead I bought wet food with the assumption that she'd eat a little when she finished her wet food and got hungry. I considered it a supplement that she wouldn't eat too much of. Apparently, I was wrong. She started eating more of the dry food and leaving the wet food in the bowl to turn. I was throwing out a decent amount of fairly pricey wet food.Knowing that Royal Canin wasn't nearly as high quality as I wanted, I looked around and found that the best brands of dry food were this brand and Orijen.Orijen was considered the superior brand every where I looked. However, while everyone had glowing reviews of what came out of the Canadian facility, they've apparently built a facility in Kentucky and everything you buy in the USA comes from that facility. People reported vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and lack luster coat. You could consider that these might be cause by a third factor, but there were too many similar reports for me to trust it. I didn't see any issues with the dog version.The issue I ran into, and it's not really a bad one, was that my kitten apparently prefers the taste of the Royal Canin. I took a week a transferred her over to the Wellness Core Kitten Dry, but I'd taught her to sit for food and she'd sit near a full bowl of dry and when I'd look at her, she'd sit, indicating she wanted food. Since the bowl was full I can only surmise that she didn't like it. As soon as I sprinkled a little Royal Canin over it, she dove into it and ate it all. Occasionally, I'll see here do this when she's eaten most of her food and the little left doesn't have any of her old food mixed in.The upside of this is because she had no problems with the change in flavor of the wet food, she now eats it in a timely manner and I don't have to throw any out. With her only getting (1) 3oz can per day and 1/2 cup of the dry split over two feedings, per their directions based on age, I can afford to buy her the more expensive Wellness Core Kitten Wet 'Turkey and Chicken Liver'. That's good, because I think she became fatigued of the chicken pate flavor. She didn't seem to really care for it. Once I gave her the option of the turkey and chicken liver, she dived right in. I think she just needed a change.Overall, I think this is a high quality food, though without artificial flavor enhancements, your cat may not be in love with the flavor. I'm having minor weight issues with my cat as well. She's not heavy, but is leaning in that direction. It's partially because it's winter and her activity levels have reduced because she doesn't go outside as much, partly because she's slowed down from her spastic kitten energy levels, but also because this food has an 18% fat content. There average cat food is 12% and weight maintenance is 10%, so she's getting almost a double ration of fat in this kitten food. I do limit her food to the recommended amount and she doesn't get snacks. I'm hoping that when she's switched to an adult food her weight will drop off. I also hope that with different flavors she'll eat just the food and not need the other sprinkled on top.

Wellness core is the cat food we like to buy for our cat. Sometimes the bag has arrived with 2 different kibble sizes in it (large and small pieces.). Our cat does not like the large kibble so we pick those out and throw those away.The ideal bag arrives with only the smaller kibble in it. It’s odd because it seemed like the bags that have arrived with the 2 kibble sizes in it was a mistake. But if you read the other reviews, other people have experienced this same situation and their cats don’t like the larger size kibble either.Just something we noticed recently. It doesn’t reduce how much we like the cat food. I do wish the bags would only come with the small kibble in it.

The media could not be loaded.

I've tried a number of different high-quality kibbles on my two long-haired cats. One tends to get mats--to the extent that I've had to take him to a groomer for a full-body shave. He hasn't had a mat since he started eating this about six months ago. I'm moderately allergic to cats, but I discovered that giving them decent food means I can have cats (I can usually tell whether people are giving a high-quality food to their cats from how strongly my allergies kick up around them; often I can't tolerate other people's cats at all). My cats seem to find this stuff tasty, and their coats look and feel terrific.

Love what is in this food, but I am afraid I will have to change after this bag. My cat eats it, but only a few non enthusiastic bites at a time. She is not thrilled with the flavor, and she is not a picky kitty. Also, she has had a lot of tummy rumblings and tootie toots. I give it A+ for the ingredients, but my kitty just does not care too much for it. Yours might love it. It has a fair price point, worth a try.

My cats love eating this. I buy them the Wellness Core+ “INDOOR deboned chicken, turkey meal & chicken meal recipe”. I free feed them so they always have food in their bowl… and still when i bring home a new bag theyll try to tear it open with their teeth. My 3 cats are all a healthy weight with beautiful soft fur. I think thats due to the vitamins and healthy ingredients Wellness puts in their products

Our cat and dog both love wellness core, the stuff works wonders for solving strange health issues. While it is expensive, it's well worth the money. The size if the food is perfect for our 5yr old cat. It's definitely a crunchy food, which I feel like it may contribute to her perfect teeth, but ill leave that one up to the vet to decide. The smell isn't bad either. Great food all around

It's like cardboard. Even my cat who will eat anything won't eat it until the last minute and both of my cats are healthy with big appetites. I also tried to find the best cat food, but the ingredients of this cat food are not the best even for dry food. But the truth is, most commercial cat food is terrible for cats. This particular brand turned my cat's fur brown. Only after I stopped feeding them this food did their fur start to return to its normal color. And when I started feeding them this again, the color began to turn brown again. It's really not good.

My two 18 month old cats did not like there previous food and were loosing alot of weight. So I decided to put them back on kitten food for awhile so that they can regain the weight they lost and it has been 2 weeks now and they seem to like it. Alot of broken pieces though!

منتج رائع واحببته قططي جدا ومفيد خالي من الحبوب

I don't know what to say. Other foods with grains seemed to make my cat fat and lethargic but he seems to really like this stuff.

This is a repeat purchase - we've been feeding our cats with Wellness Core indoor cat food. Since we adopted them and fed them Wellness Core, their fur have become so beautiful and soft. Good ingredients overall for your cats' health.
