Summary

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.

Comments

Note 1: These foods use “combined” ingredients and I had to break down these combinations for the correct evaluation but I cannot be sure it is 100% accurate.

Note 2: The location of the potato protein is determined according to its contribution.

Notes

The score is calculated after relocating fresh meat or fish ingredient(s), as explained in Rule 7: Quality and Location Impact of Meat Ingredients

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
