Kitten Original, Turkey and Chicken
Summary
Wellness CORE Kitten Original, Turkey and Chicken features fresh turkey as the first ingredient, delivering high-quality lean protein essential for developing muscle tissue in growing kittens.
It blends dehydrated chicken and chicken fat to provide a spectrum of amino acids and healthy fats that fuel playful energy and support youthful vitality.
Salmon oil provides DHA, a crucial omega-3 fatty acid that supports healthy brain development and sharp vision during early life stages.
Linseed and salmon oil together provide a balanced combination of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to support skin health and promote a glossy, resilient coat.
A targeted blend of prebiotic fibers from chicory root, beet pulp, and lignocellulose, combined with probiotics, helps stabilize gut flora, enhance nutrient absorption, and promote digestive comfort.
Potato protein and dehydrated salmon complement animal-derived proteins with gentle digestibility for sensitive kitten stomachs.
Carefully calibrated calcium (1.7%) and phosphorus (1.2%) levels support optimal bone mineralization and skeletal growth.
Added L-carnitine facilitates efficient fatty acid metabolism, helping kittens maintain a healthy weight as they grow.
Natural cranberries, kelp, and a proprietary botanical blend deliver antioxidants and phytonutrients that bolster immune resilience and oxidative defenses.
At 3663 kcal/kg, this nutrient-dense kibble meets the elevated energy demands of both indoor and outdoor kittens without compromising balance.

How the score is calculated?
The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.
To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:
(1) Amount of protein (more is better)
(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)
(3) Quality and source of ingredients.
Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.
One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.
In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.
Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.
Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.
Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.
Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.
The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
