It’s Party Time, Thanks to Wellness! #HealthyMeetsHappy
It is Party Time here in the KCC House, and you are ALL invited! We are celebrating the Year of the Cat, thanks to Wellness and their NEW Wellness® Complete Health™ line of grain free canned and dry cat foods! Why are we celebrating? We can’t wait to tell you, so keep reading!
This post is sponsored by Wellness® and the BlogPaws® Pet Influencer Network™. I am being compensated to help share the availability of Wellness® Complete Health™ and NEW Complete Health Grain Free Cat Food available at PetSmart, but we only share information we feel is relevant to our readers. Neither Wellness or PetSmart is not responsible for the content of this article.
We believe in the Wellness Difference!
We’ve been feeding Wellness® canned cat food for over five years now because of their dedication to providing natural and better nutrition for cats. The Wellness Difference is about more than just being natural though, and it’s not just about what’s left out of their food. It’s a given that they don’t add corn, soy, wheat or other artificial colors and ingredients. Their team of animal lovers, nutritionists, and vets puts a focus on what they put IN their food – a small number of simple, pure, and authentic ingredients.
That’s all well and good, right, but it gets better! We have recently come to love Wellness even more than we already did becase they have reformulated their cat food to create the NEW Wellness Complete Health™ line of GRAIN FREE canned and dry foods. These new recipes are formulated with carefully chosen ingredients along with vitamins and minerals for optimal health.
Now listen up, because this is where things get really exciting…
All of the new Wellness Complete Health canned cat foods are now carrageenan FREE!
Cue the confetti and balloon drop! Carrageenan is that controversial ingredient you may have heard about before. It is used in canned pet food as thickening ingredient; however, it has been linked to cancer. Yikes, right?! That’s why we were THRILLED to learn that Wellness has removed carrageenan from their new line of canned foods. WOOT!
Picky Kitties, listen up: Wellness offers FIVE different textures of canned food!
We are also loving all of the different types and textures of canned food in the new Complete Health line. These new foods were inspired by the realization that cats can be picky eaters at times and that they don’t always drink enough water. To satisfy the different tastes and preferences of cats everywhere, Wellness has launched five different texture options in their canned food, available in multiple flavors:
- Wellness Complete Health Gravies
- Wellness Complete Health Morsels
- Wellness Complete Health Minced
- Wellness Complete Health Sliced
- Wellness Complete Health Pate
What’s your favorite? Ours is pate! 😀
The Consensus: The KCC Gang Loves Wellness Complete Health!
In the 5+ years we’ve been feeding Wellness, our kitties have always looked forward to meal times. They scarf their food up in a matter of seconds. Since the recipes have been reformulated, that hasn’t changed. The KCC Gang still LOVES Wellness, and so do I!
One more reason to love Wellness: TerraCycle!
Wellness is dedicated to long-term sustainability, so they have partnered with upcycle and recycle leader TerraCycle to help eliminate waste and give their customers the opportunity to donate to their favorite school or nonprofit organization! Wellness is actually the first U.S.-based pet food company to partner with TerraCycle.
Ship your Wellness Complete Health dry food packaging as well as your Wellness CORE dry food packaging to TerraCycle for FREE! Each pound of waste sent equals 100 TerraCycle points. You can then redeem points for gifts or cash to your favorite school or nonprofit! How awesome is that?!
Organizations, schools, and individuals scan sign up for the Wellness Recycling Program through the TerraCycle website.
Catisfaction Guaranteed!
But wait, there’s more! All Wellness recipes come with a Catisfaction Guarantee. If your cat doesn’t like the food, you can return the unused portion back to Petsmart for a full refund!
What are you waiting for? Join the celebration and head on over to your local PetSmart to grab some of your cat’s favorite Wellness® Complete Health™ and Complete Health Grain Free options!

They took out the carrageenan? I’ll have to give these a try then!
Brian Frum says
We recently made the switch to some of these and it has been quite popular here!
Random Felines says

We’ve been eating the Wellness turkey and are so happy that they’ve taken out the carrageenan!
Ellen Pilch says
That is a great, high quality food.
Patty @ That Cat Blog says
Wellness is Thomas’s favorite – and now it’s even better! Woohoo!
Cathy Keisha says
Let the pawty begin!
pipo/minko/mrjackfreckles says
Pawsome that that carrageenan is out of there. Now to get it out of the human foods its in…petcretary says she spends more time reading labels than shopping, MOL!
We might now even let Minko have a try at that food…if he will eat some on his own that would be a miracle. Pipo is a piggy and gobbles just about anything…just not treats, go figure!
Heather Wallace says
While I don’t have cats, my dogs love the Wellness Freeze-Dried Beef. I use it as treats when they’ve been especially good boys. I love the commitment that the company has to recycling and upcycling- something I did not know before your post.
Kamira Gayle says
I’ve been hearing about the new Wellness food options with 5 new textures and carrageenan free. I didn’t know about TerraCycle. That’s a great perk when considering buying Wellness. Who doesn’t like a little extra cash?
Tenacious Little Terrier says
It’s great it doesn’t have carrageenan anymore. I appreciate foods that come with a satisfaction guarantee. Mr. N is picky!
Joely Smith says
Our pets and us humans LOVE Wellness!! When I run out and have to give my cats their “backup” food they hate me! LOL I know they are plotting to end my days so I have to hurry to get more Wellness!
The Daily Pip says
So many great reasons to love Wellness! I love that that they are partnering with TerraCycle. Hopefully, other brands will follow their lead. Also love that they have added canned foods with varied texture – something for every kitty, no matter their preferences!
The Dash Kitten Crew says
Reformulating can work to the advantage of cat owners – this is tremendous news from Wellness!
Oh and your lot giving it the ‘paws up’ encourages us to try it as soon as we can!
Cathy Armato says
I’ve never heard of carrageenan, but it sounds like a good thing to omit. I love the Teracycle partnership; paws up for zero waste!
Love & biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Tonya Wilhelm says
I am so glad to hear they are carrageenan free. All those binders in canned food are nasty and bad for the colon. Super cute photo!
Dolly the Doxie says
I’m just now transitioning Rhette to a senior diet and I choose Wellness but it’s kibble not canned. I’m going to check his canned food for that ingredient that’s for sure!
Beth Patterson says
My cat isn’t particular about textures, but I know many are. I’m glad you found something for all the cats in your crew!
Sweet Purrfections says
I was so happy when Wellness announced their canned food recipes were going carrageenan free because this is one of the canned foods that Brulee will eat. They really love the new food.
Robin says
Manna and Dexter are loving the new recipes from Wellness too. It is so awesome that they have removed carrageenan from their Complete Health lines. I’ve always loved the fact that they have so many grain free options. What do kitties need grains for anyway? I love the photos of Sophie and the ribbons. She is such a cutie pie!
Kia says
It’s awesome that Wellness has reformilated their food! I’m glad your kitties love it. Love the photos…definitely looks like a celebration! Woop woop!
Bryn Nowell says
I’m so glad you have a food that the cats love that is also working on improving its recipe to provide a safe and healthy list of ingredients. Hip Hip Hooray! Cheers to your kitties always loving their food 🙂
Katie Allan says
That is really good to hear that they are carrageenan free now! I did not realize that. That is good information to know. We love Wellness too. Echo just finished a bag of Wellness CORE Raw Rev and he loved it!
Alison Reder says
Really happy to learn that pet food companies are starting to remove carrageenan from their foods! I eliminated it from my diet, which was harder than I thought as it is in quite a few things that you wouldn’t expect to find it in. I was not aware that Wellness was making this switch and I am thrilled!
