    Salmon is the clean tissue of un-decomposed whole salmon or salmon cuttings. It is an excellent source of high quality protein, calcium, phosphorous and long chain Omega 3 fatty acids, which are critical for healthy skin, coat and proper body function. Wellness uses naturally preserved meat sources.

    Salmon is cooked down to release all of the fat and water. Creating a concentrated, highly digestible protein and fat source known as salmon meal. For out cat foods we source and select special low ash salmon meal as to control mineral levels that contribute to proper urinary health. It is an excellent source of high quality protein, calcium, phosphorous and long chain Omega 3 fatty acids, which are critical for healthy skin, coat and proper body function as well as the enhanced learning of kittens, puppies and babies. Wellness uses naturally preserved meat sources.

    Whitefish is cooked down to release all of the fat and water, creating a concentrated, highly digestible protein and fat source known as whitefish meal. For our cat foods, we source and select special low ash whitefish meal as to control mineral levels that contribute to proper urinary health. It is an excellent source of high quality protein, calcium, phosphorous and long chain Omega 6 fatty acids, which are critical for healthy skin, coat and body function. Wellness uses naturally preserved meat sources.

    Unless listed as brown rice, rice is the de-hulled rice kernel, without the bran. Rice is the preferred grain for feline diets as it is low in minerals, specifically magnesium. Controlling the mineral content of a diet is especially important for cats prone to urinary tract disease. Wellness uses some whole rice and some ground rice in the dietary solutions recipes.

    Ground/Pearled Barley is produced from whole barley seeds that have been scoured to remove the seed hull and bran. An excellent choice for specialized obesity and diabetic pet diets due to its unique nutritional make-up, modest amounts of slowly digested starch and the soluble fiber B-glucan. It is more digestible than whole or cracked barley

    I used the salmon wellness for a long time. When I first rescued my cat from the shelter I went to a pet food store and got a few samples of different kinds of food and put them in front of her. She picked the wellness salmon. When I got my second cat almost a year later I was still using the brand and my boy cat took right to it. He had been a stray in my parking lot and he didn’t seem to have any trouble adjusting to the new diet.The only reason I had to stop buying it is because I lost my job and could no longer afford the high prices of wellness. If I could find it cheaper I would still be using it today. Now that I have changed my boy cat has indigestion issues. He throws up much more often to the bewilderment of me and my vet. As soon as I can afford to go back to wellness I will because he didn’t have this problem when he was eating it.
