Summary

Wellness CORE Adult Ocean is a grain-free, poultry-free dry food that promotes a healthy skin and coat.

With 43% protein, primarily sourced from salmon (26%), tuna (11%), and herring (10%), it provides a nutrient-dense and high-quality protein profile.

The recipe includes linseed (3%) and salmon oil (2%) for omega-3 fatty acids, supporting skin health, a shiny coat, and joint wellness.

Incorporating chicory root, it delivers prebiotic fibers for digestive health, while a fiber-rich formula helps manage hairball formation.

Blended with cranberries, dried kelp, and mixed herbs, it supports overall immune health and antioxidant defense.

Designed to be gentle on sensitive stomachs, this formula avoids poultry, making it suitable for cats with dietary sensitivities.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: 43% crude protein from fish-only sources supports muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
  • Skin & Coat Support: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, primarily from salmon oil and linseed, ensure healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Digestive Health: Chicory root and prebiotic fibers improve gut health and nutrient absorption.
  • Joint Health: Glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate enhance hip and joint mobility.
  • Hairball Control: High fiber levels aid in reducing hairball formation.

 

Cons:

  • Ash Content: The crude ash level of 8.5% might not be suitable for cats requiring reduced mineral intake, such as those prone to urinary issues.
  • Higher Fat Content: The 16% fat content could challenge overweight or sedentary cats if portions are not carefully managed.
  • Strong Fish-Based Ingredients: While nutritious, the prominent use of salmon, tuna, and herring may not suit cats with aversions or allergies to fish proteins.
  • Fiber Levels: Although beneficial for hairball control, the 4% crude fiber may need to be monitored in cats prone to softer stools or sensitive digestion.

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.
