What is Wellness CORE Ocean Formula Dry Dog Food?
Wellness CORE Ocean Formula Dry Dog Food is a fish-based, grain-free dry dog food for adult dogs. The first four ingredients are named meat products or meals including, whitefish, herring and salmon, all of which provide a natural source of proteins and fatty acids. Along with the variety of fish, it also contains flaxseed - all of which work to promote a healthy coat and healthy skin.

How it works:
Wellness CORE Ocean Formula works by combining very high-protein packed ingredients with quality fruits and vegetables into a dry kibble. It is completely grain-free and the main source of carbohydrates come from potatoes and not corn, so it is excellent for dogs with grain allergies. Also, it is completely fish-based, which means it contains no beef or poultry and is meant to be fed to dogs on a daily basis. Wellness CORE Ocean Formula benefits the skin and coat from the fatty acids provided by the variety of fish and flax seed, while also benefiting the joints due to the presence of glucosamine and chondroitin.

My Boston LOVES this food!
I have been feeding my Boston Terrier the CORE Ocean Formula since he was about 9 months old. He absolutely loves the stuff! His coat is always super shiny and he's stayed nice and trim, people are always commenting on his physic and coat, I attribute it all to his diet! I use this kibble in his kong toys and it never gets old. We never feed him human food, just carrots, ice cubes and CORE. I highly recommend it being its a fish based diet and has real ingredients, no fillers.
