Wellness CORE
Sterilised Ocean, Salmon
Summary
Wellness CORE Sterilised Ocean, Salmon is a specialized grain-free recipe designed for sterilized and mature cats aged 7-11 years, prioritizing weight management and coat health.
This fish-only formula contains 26% salmon (16% fresh, 10% dehydrated), 7% herring, and 5% tuna.
It provides high-quality protein for lean muscle maintenance and is ideal for cats with poultry sensitivities.
The addition of salmon oil (2%) and linseed (3%) ensures omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to support a shiny coat and healthy skin.
Optimal fiber levels, including 3% beet pulp and lignocellulose, promote digestion and reduce hairball formation.
400 mg/kg glucosamine and 400 mg/kg chondroitin sulphate support joint health, while controlled sodium levels and antioxidants benefit overall heart and immune health.
This recipe contains 18% less fat than CORE Original, meeting the reduced calorie needs of sterilized or less active cats.
Pros:
- Weight Management: Reduced fat content (13%) supports ideal weight in sterilized and less active cats.
- Skin and Coat Health: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from salmon oil and linseed enhance skin condition and promote a glossy coat.
- Joint Support: Enriched with glucosamine and chondroitin to maintain joint flexibility and health.
- Hairball Reduction: High fiber content (4.5%) aids in minimizing hairball formation and promotes healthy digestion.
- Immunity Boost: Antioxidants from cranberries, kelp, and mixed herbs strengthen the immune system.
Cons:
- Magnesium Levels: While beneficial, the magnesium content (0.12%) may require monitoring for cats prone to urinary issues.
- Fiber Tolerance: The high-fiber formula may not suit cats unaccustomed to such diets.
- Caloric Density: Despite reduced fat, its energy-dense composition (3562 kcal/kg) necessitates careful portioning to prevent weight gain.

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.

Note 1: These foods use “combined” ingredients and I had to break down these combinations for the correct evaluation but I cannot be sure it is 100% accurate.
Note 2: The location of the potato protein is determined according to its contribution.
