Wellness cat food is just one brand that's produced by WellPet LLC. WellPet also produces Holistic Select, Old Mother Hubbard and Eagle Pack formulas. Wellness in particular has received a lot of attention, especially due to it being one of the top-rated brands of cat food.

Types of Formulas

Wellness offers a variety of different cat food formulas, as well as several different types of “snacks” designed for cats. The food formulas are offered as a dry kibble, canned food formulas or as meal “pouches”.

Wellness Complete Health

This is the foundation formula sold by the Wellness brand. Though the formulas are not grain-free, they still often rate high among pet nutritional experts. Meat and meat meals are often the first ingredients in these formulas. The carbohydrates in Wellness Complete Health come from rice, which is always included among the first five ingredients. Also, these formulas seem to be completely free of corn, wheat and soy, which are three of the most common allergens that can cause symptoms in cats.

Wellness CORE

One of the premier products offered by Wellness is their line of grain-free cat food, which is marketed under the brand name “Wellness CORE”. The dry version of Wellness CORE has four meat-based ingredients in its first five ingredients, two of which are meat meals. The carbohydrates in this grain-free formula usually come from potatoes. Wellness CORE is advertised as being a “50% protein diet”, with 80% of the protein in the formula coming from animal sources. In the canned formulas of Wellness CORE, all five of the first five ingredients come from animal sources. One of the formulas is “poultry free”, which may be suitable for cats that have allergies to poultry.

What Do Cat Owners Say?

The majority of cat owners are extremely happy with the quality and nutrition contained in Wellness cat food formulas. Wellness CORE in particular is very popular, due to its high meat content and lack of grains. Many cat owners like the fact that there are grain-free options from Wellness, since cats are obligate carnivores and require a diet heavy in meats. Wellness cat food formulas have been praised by many pet nutritional experts, and have even been featured on the TODAY show as one of the top food choices of Victoria Stilwell (One of the leading pet trainers on Animal Planet).
