Wellness CORE is a grain-free and protein-focused dog food offering essential nutrients to maintain your dog's health. The high levels of protein are sourced from 5 different animal protein sources (deboned turkey, deboned chicken, turkey meal, chicken meal, and chicken liver).

How it works:
Wellness CORE offers exceptional amounts of animal-sourced protein without the excess calories and fat many other high protein dog foods have. By balancing the nutritional levels in this food, more nutrients stay inside your dog's body and are not wasted, which also means less stool. Each ingredient used in Wellness CORE is included to provide a benefit to your pet's health. The high quality ingredients help provide your pet with balanced nutrition and also make Wellness CORE appropriate for everyday feeding.
Cautions: None
Directions:
•
CORE is highly palatable, so your dog may tend to eat more of this food. Watch initially to see if you need to adjust regular eating patterns. Make sure to give your dog access to clean, cool fresh water at all times.
•
It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes awhile for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness CORE each day, so that you are feeding 100% new food by day 7.
Tip: The nutrient levels of this food are appropriate for adult dogs over 1 year old. We do not recommend feeding this formula to puppies as they have special nutritional requirements during their growth stage.

my dog loves it
i fed my dog a different brand forever but they stopped making it. thought i would try this based on the reviews / brand.
when i first bought this i mixed some in with her existing food...she picked out her old pieces and put them in a pile on the floor and ate only the wellness nuggets. she seems to really like it. the only issue is the resealable bag is kind of poorly made and never actually zips.

Best Ever
My cavashon had pancreatitis and the vet prescribed 3 different prescription diets. None cured the diarhhea. I researched dog foods and started my dog on this 10 months ago. She is maintaining her weight (pancreatitis requires a low fat food) and has been healthier than ever. I mix this dry food with 1 tablespoon of the Wellness Core Turkey canned food and she eats it right up.
