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
Good source of antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C and dietary fiber, which helps with joint problems and promotes overall gastrointestinal health.
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 Customer Service
By Bear on Sep 6, 2019
My Rotti loves this food, but I am writing more for the excellent customer service. My order was shipped from the other side of the USA, and my dog was in need of the food. When I emailed customer service asking about the delay they were so prompt and apologetic in their response. We have been using Chewy for years, this is only the second time I had to call customer service and both times were excellent!

Happily surprised
By AdamPauly on Aug 26, 2019
I have 2 Shelties, male and female. One with severe digestive issues. She loves this food and she has no problem with it. My little man likes it too, so we will probably switch from Merrick to Wellness.

Great food
By Mary on Aug 14, 2019
I highly recommend this food. I have a GSD that has a lot of digestive issues and would often times refuse to eat. My dog loves this food and has done extremely well on it.

Not loving it
By Charkee on Jun 21, 2019
I read lots of reviews on this food so I thought I’d try it. I have 2 dogs that refused to eat it so I have to doctor it up with chicken for every meal. $$$ it’s unfortunate but true. Chewy.com is an amazing company and I love them. My dogs just don’t like this food so I guess I’ll have to try something else

He loves it!

My Mastiff Loves This Food
By MKbeyer on May 23, 2019
My 2 year old English Mastiff, Bear has a sensitive belly which came with very loose stools. Have been feeding him Blue Buffalo since he was a puppy but the last few months he didn't seem that interested in it and his stool was very loose. Read alot of reviews for Wellness Core Large Breed and decided to give it a try. Did the slow integration of Wellness for about a week but after only 2 days his stool was MUCH better and he loves the taste of this food. I will definitely keep giving him Wellness Core.

My dog loves it
By Beausmom on Jul 18, 2019
When we found out that our regular dog food was on the list of brands that contained some unsafe ingredients, we switched to Wellness Core at the recommendation of our daughter. Our dog loves it!

New food, new dog
By Allie on May 21, 2019
We decided to change food because although I bathe Allie often, she was starting to smell like a dog. Her joints bother her more in the rainy/snowy season too. Since starting this kibble, she seems to feel much better and she smells good too!
