Wellness CORE Grain-Free Dry Cat Food

Description

Wellness has redefined the world of grain-free cat food! They have developed a 50% protein diet with the most meat possible in a dry cat food while still controlling fat and mineral levels. The essence of the raw feeding philosophy is nutrient-rich, high-quality meat – and lots of it. That’s the same philosophy behind Wellness CORE. But that’s not all. This unique, grain-free formula also supports and nurtures your cat’s inside… their essence… their Core.

Since feline health requires a delicately balanced nutritional equation, we must consider that adding the most meat possible in a dry cat food will have an effect on fat, mineral and calorie levels. So to create a protein-focused diet, Wellness carefully controlled the quality and quantity of the ingredients used, and paid close attention to the individual properties of each inclusion.

If you are looking for a food with more meat, no grains and lower carbohydrates – CORE is truly a more thoughtful alternative. This diet delivers the meat content you’re looking for, while creating a balanced profile of real-foods appropriate for everyday feeding.

This is about the animal’s health and wellbeing over the long term, from the INSIDE OUT. Wellness understands the delicate balance of nutrition that is essential to feline health and this will not be compromised. CORE is the THE HEALTHIEST grain-free diet on the market today.

• Higher Protein Inclusion: CORE features the highest inclusions of meat possible in a dry cat food, with over 80% high-quality, animal protein ingredients.
• Balanced Mineral Ratios: CORE’s unique formula includes guaranteed maximums of calcium, phosphorous and magnesium with natural minerals from kelp.
• Grain Free: Free of grains, CORE also keeps carbs to a minimum. Potatoes provide fiber and help hold the food together.
• Fruits & Botanicals: Tomato Pomace and Cranberries provide valuable phytonutrients, with additional natural benefits of botanical extracts.
• Living Food With ActiCoat: After cooking, each kibble is coated with a source of live naturally-occurring micro-organisms normally found in the healthy digestive tract.
• Optimum Fat Levels: Using high quality cuts of meat helps CORE manage both fat levels and calorie content. Salmon oil and flaxseed help maintain skin and coat health.

Wellness CORE Fish & Fowl Recipe Adult Cat & Kitten Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.
