Summary

Wellness CORE Sterilised Original, Chicken with Turkey, is a grain-free, nutrient-dense formula designed specifically for sterilised or less active cats to promote weight management and overall health.

This high-protein recipe, which includes 54% chicken (including fresh, dried, and dehydrated chicken) and 4% turkey, supports lean muscle maintenance while providing a tasty meal.

The inclusion of linseed (1%) and chicken fat (4%) ensures an optimal balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for healthy skin and a shiny coat.

High fiber levels, including 4% beet pulp, aid in reducing hairball formation and improving digestion.

Joint health is supported by 400 mg/kg glucosamine and 400 mg/kg chondroitin sulphate, while 200 mg/kg L-Carnitine promotes fat metabolism and weight control.

This recipe is fortified with prebiotic fibers, probiotics, and antioxidants to enhance immunity and overall well-being.

 

Pros:

  • Weight Control: The reduced fat content (13%) and the inclusion of L-carnitine help maintain a healthy weight for sterilised and less active cats.
  • Joint Support: Glucosamine and chondroitin promote joint flexibility and health, particularly for aging cats.
  • Hairball Management: High fiber content (4.5%) minimizes hairball formation, improving digestion and gut health.
  • Immune Boost: Cranberries, kelp, and mixed herbs provide antioxidants to strengthen the immune system.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids support skin integrity and a lustrous coat.

 

Cons:

  • Caloric Density: At 3475 kcal/kg, portion control is essential to prevent weight gain in less active cats.
  • Sodium Levels: While not excessive, sodium content may require monitoring for cats with specific health conditions.
  • Fiber Adaptation: Cats unaccustomed to higher fiber diets may require a gradual transition to this formula.

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.
