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.

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.
