Wellness Complete Health Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal and Rice Recipe

Reviews praise Wellness Complete Health as the top choice among pricey dry cat foods, though most experts recommend raw food first, canned food second and dry food third. Reviews focus on meat content and the level of byproducts and artificial preservatives, and Wellness Complete Health performs well in all of these areas. Most reviews say the high cost of Wellness Complete is mitigated because it takes less premium food to satisfy cats. Wellness dry cat food contains rice and barley, but these fillers are less objectionable than other carbohydrates, according to experts. Professional and user reviews indicate most cats like the taste of Wellness Complete, which, experts say, should be supplemented with a premium canned cat food, such as Natural Balance Indoor Cat Formula (*Est. $1.10 for a 6-oz. can).

We found no cat food reviews that use traditional or formal testing, but About.com's Franny Syufy tests a variety of foods with her own cats. The Ask Susan Peters website is hypercritical of most commercial brands, but recommends Wellness Complete Health. Owner reviews at OnlyNaturalPet.com and Petco.com are positive, though they focus mainly on whether or not cats seem to like the food.
