Combination Feeding: If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount fed by 1/2 cup, for every 6 oz of wet food.
This food is formulated for adult, non-reproducing dogs over one year old as puppies and pregnant or nursing mothers have special nutritional requirements. It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5 - 7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness® each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness® CORE® by day 7.
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. Give your dog access to clean, cool fresh water at all times and feed Wellness® CORE® wet food in combination whenever possible, to increase the level of water in your dog's diet. Nutrition is the foundation of wellbeing, but be sure to give your dog plenty of love, exercise and see your veterinarian regularly!
Grain-Free Recipe Designed for Large Breed Dogs
Wellness knows large breed dogs have specific requirements when it comes to their nutrition. That's why they developed a CORE recipe especially for bigger dogs. CORE Large Breed Formula is available in a larger kibble size for larger mouths and contains additional protein along with Wellness' WellFlex® system of glucosamine and chondroitin to help with joint support.
Supporting Your Dog's Optimal Health to the CORE
Wellness CORE follows the nutritional philosophy that pets, based on their primal ancestry, thrive on a diet mainly comprised of meat. CORE formulas are packed with quality animal protein without fillers or grains, plus botanicals and nutritional supplements. These unique, grain-free recipes support and nurture your pet, contributing to his inner wellbeing all the way through to his core.
Why is CORE Different?
Unlike many grain-free diets, Wellness CORE considers your pet's whole health by ensuring the overall nutritional equation remains appropriate for everyday feeding. Higher protein can also mean higher fat, minerals and calories. By thoughtfully selecting specialized ingredients and managing nutritional ratios, CORE delivers protein-focused nutrition thoughtfully - with balance, not excess.
Fresh, Whole Food Ingredients
Wellness CORE provides a balanced profile of high-quality, natural ingredients appropriate for everyday feeding. These grain-free recipes contain absolutely no meat by-products, artificial colors, flavorings, preservatives, corn, wheat or soy.
BROCCOLI
Great source of fiber and vitamin C and boosts the immune system, supports skin and heart health and helps the body release toxins.
SPINACH
Exceptionally rich in carotenoids, including beta-carotene and lutein, and also contains quercetin, a phytochemical with antioxidant properties.
CARROTS
Excellent source of fiber and minerals and a good natural source of beta carotene, an antioxidant essential for neutralizing free radicals.
KALE
Highly nutritious vegetable which is high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin and also a good source of calcium.
APPLES

GROUND FLAXSEED
Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which improve the shine of the pet's coat and high in fiber which helps move food through the digestive system.

Great food!
By Hannah on Aug 31, 2020
My 85 lb, American Akita (Piper) loves this food. I decided to start getting this brand earlier this year because my research showed it was one of the best high-protein, nutrient dense brands to get and I haven't been disappointed. Piper also isn't disappointed. She's a picky eater and loves it!

Love the larger kibble size
By Zanniegsp on Oct 16, 2020
My dog is on a raw diet, but I use kibble in her treat ball. My dog loves the larger kibble size. Larger kibble size is very hard to find in a decent quality dog food.

My English Mastiff recommends it.
By OklahomaMom on Apr 12, 2020
My dog is usually a very picky eater. You can imagine my delight when he decided this chow was great - dry out of the bag. He still likes his meat and treats but will clean his bowl of every drop of kibble.

Disappointed with Wellness Core Grain Free purchase
By mary on Jan 21, 2020
I ordered this for my 2 mixed breed dogs and I'm not thrilled with it nor are my doggies. Chucks are REALLY large and doesn't smell very appetising. I will be going back to the Blue Buffalo Limited Ingredients for my next shipment!

When only the best will do
By BS77 on Nov 1, 2019
This is not the cheapest dog food, but after extensive research, I was unable to find anything as nutrient dense and high in the important stuff many others, even more expensive brands, skimp on. Don't take my word, do your own research and please let me know if you find a more nutritious dry food. This is the primary diet I feed my Boerboel, Molly.

I bought this last month. It is now $10. more and has 2 pounds LESS.
By Jill on Feb 10, 2020
I thought I had found my new dog food. They like it. I already struggled to pay $61.89 for 30 pounds. Now, in one month, the price has gone up $10. and the bag has two pounds less food in it. It is now $71. for 28 pounds. I now cannot afford it at all.
