Wellness CORE Pate Kitten Canned Wet Cat Food, Natural, Protein Rich, Grain Free, Chicken and Salmon Recipe, 3 oz, Pack of 12 Cans

Wellness Core Kitten Wet Food: Turkey and Chicken Liver This is the best quality kitten food I could find. I did a lot of research and from the available foods I found, this is the best diet I could find without going 'raw' or making my own. While 'raw' diets are supposed to be more nutritionally natural for a cat, there is the possibility of salmonella as well as a lot more work involved with refrigerating it, portioning it, and heating it. For the convenience of having portioned and fully cooked cans of food, I'll deal with the potential 'lesser' quality of this food. I can also order it from amazon and have it delivered to my door. This food does have 'chicken meal' which isn't something you necessarily want, but it's pretty far down the list of ingredients, so I'm not too worried about it. It also has cranberries, which are supposedly included for urinary tract health. I read that this isn't necessary for cats. I don't know for sure, so I'll mention it and not comment. This is fairly expensive food. It's currently $21.48 for 12 cans (3oz.). That's 1.79/can or 0.60c/oz. or 9.55/lb. Take that into consideration when buying. Around here, that's more per pound than about any good meat I could get for myself from a grocery store. The Wellness complete line is almost as good and is a decent amount cheaper, though still more expensive than something similar wet foods you might be more familiar with. In the end, I'm just buying it because it's the best I could find and I can afford it with my one kitten. I feed her (1) can in the mornings and supplement with the recommended amount of the complementary dry food of the same line. We had a cat growing up who subsisted on low end dry food, then was on Royal Canin S/O for urinary tract issues for the rest of his life. He only got the occasional pack of wet food or snack in the kitchen and he was healthy and trim till he died of old age at 16yrs. It'll be up to you to decide if the price is worth it, but I believe the quality is definitely there if you decide it is. Just as an extra note, my kitten was found abandoned at 2 weeks. I got her at 5 weeks and she'd been fed adult wet food. I switched her to wellness complete kitten pate and was feeding her two cans a day. I wanted to supplement with dry food because they said you're supposed to free feed till they're 1yrs old for growth. She didn't even realize it was edible at first and I'd sprinkle some over her wet food. She started eating it, (Royal Canin Kitten at the time) and developed a preference for it. She'd eat it all and have wet food going bad in the bowl. Then when I realized the Royal Canin wasn't that quality, I switched her over to Wellness Core Kitten Dry, along with the wet. She didn't like it nearly as good. I assume there is some kind of flavor sprayed on the Royal Canin to make it taste good to them and Wellness doesn't do that. She now eats all of her wet and won't touch her dry till I sprinkle just a little of the royal canin on top and mix it in. Kitten will develop preferences and like stuff that isn't good for them. Their diet will change based on those preferences. Just something else to keep in mind while planning what to get them. I can afford to buy the more expensive stuff, because instead of feeding multiple cans of wet per day, I feed one can and supplement with dry. They have feeding instructions based on this as well.

My senior very small cat was really thin. She’s small, so you can imagine how concerned I was when she lost a pound. She was roughly 7 lbs and she had been a little over 8! Her vet said to feed her 1/2 a can on top of her dry but switch to KITTEN food so she would receive more nutrition and GAIN WEIGHT. I had never given her wet food with the exception of giving her meds. This was rare, so I wasn’t concerned about Core. She was already on Wellness Core regular Cat food. So I switched her adult dry to the kitten version. Since I’ve changed her diet, she’s gained weight, is healthier and happier! This pate is easy to serve, it doesn’t stink, she loves the taste, the ingredients provide the proper nutrition the size is perfect. I can’t say enough positive this about the Wellness Kitten Pate! She loves different flavors of Wellness Core. I’m happier because I’m no longer worried about her health.

I just got a kitten in May and I really wanted to provide him with the best food I could. I started him off on Hill science diet, but he just wasn’t finishing all the food and he would eat it, but he never lick the bowl clean. I also did some research and found out that Hills science has corn And wheat and dairy and sugar in their food which animals do not need! My cat gets to eat gluten and dairy so I tend to stay away from it. Best I can. I stumbled upon this food on a YouTube website and decided to give it a try. I went and bought one can from Petsmart and my cat ate it so fast! He basically licked bowl clean so I didn’t even have to clean it , I got the chicken and salmon flavor and that has been his favorite so far, I haven’t tried the other flavors because I just don’t want to stick with what he loves best. I’ll definitely stick with this when he gets into an adult and I’ll find an adult flavor of wellness chicken and salmon. I highly recommend this, I always get many compliments on how he is very healthy growing really well and by giving him wet food he is staying hydrated. I even add a little bit of extra water or , carnivore bone broth to his food just to keep an extra hydrated!

Bought on Black Friday sale. Items came in good condition. My 2 kittens that are 10weeks gobbled this up real quick. Satisfied but wish that price can be lower so that I can make this a regular purchase.

My furr baby loves this food good quality for a 5 month old kitten! The price is a little high but I use it sparingly

Great product. I use it as a treat along with other food because it’s expensive. But my 2 boys love it so much it’s worth it.

I did so much research before my new kitten came home - I wanted to feed him the best that I could find to keep him happy and healthy and that extensive googling lead to Wellness CORE. I have fed my kitten this, nearly exclusively, since he came home and he’s now approx 7 months old - it was on back order at one point and couldn’t find it anywhere so had to make a temporary switch. During the switch his skin was drier, his urine had a stronger smell, and his poo was soft resulting in a couple baths since he’s fluffy. As soon as he started eating this again, all was right as rain! Highly recommend for the high quality ingredients. Spend it now on the food, or later at the vet.

My cat LOVES this food. Before I got him onto this food, he was eating the other grain free Wellness kitten food, but I found that the 3 ounce cans were too small and ran out quickly compared to these 5.5 oz ones. Plus the CORE line has added nutritional benefits that the other wellness food does not. I have noticed quite a big difference in my cat's silky and soft coat compared to other cats who eat "super market" brands of cat food. Wellness Core is a brand of food any cat owner would feel good about feeding to their fur babies :)
