Dogs over 115 lbs: Add 1/4 cup per additional 10 lbs.
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!

By Vshidal on Jul 23, 2021
This is first time using this brand or product so cannot fully review. So far best response is from our golden doodle who is somewhat picky at 6 years old and on a modified diet having to cut back the amount of kibble in her meals. She began eating Wellness Core immediately but typically turns up her nose at dry kibble. We are hopeful that it will be beneficial to any food allegies she might have experienced and help us keep her trim.

Pulverized
By Midas on Jul 24, 2021
This is a review of Chewy not Wellness Core. I received my monthly shipment. The box was not properly packed or taped. When I opened the bag I found the food to be pulverized. It looks like corn meal. This is not the first time I have received poorly packed goods from Chewy, but it will be my last!

My 1 year old loves this!
By Christina on Jun 27, 2021
I’m transitioning my 1 year old large breed mix from puppy food, so I’m mixing the (high quality) puppy food with Wellness core grain free, and he’s picking through the puppy food to eat the new adult food and leaving the puppy food in the bowl (and on the floor). I’ll update later to see how he does on it, but so far he seems to give it five stars!

Best Dog Food on the Market
By Susan on May 13, 2021
I used to use wellness dog food and everyone would say your dog has the best coat, she is beautiful! I switched and noticed she looked ordinary no shine, no one saying how beautiful my dog is. Now her coat is changing back to a beautiful shine and she is more lively. I will never switch again. My cat has also transformed into a beauty with Wellness cat food.

First adult dog food is a winner
By Rlkly on May 22, 2021
Our Lab is just over a year and quite large. She was on puppy food and this was a first choice for adult food to maintain her great health, coat, energy, etc. it’s a winner. We don’t have to try anything else, so excited she likes it. Also, delivery literally couldn’t be any faster.

Another Fave
By EMPetParent on Jul 15, 2021
All my dogs really like this! Bigger kibble, which is hard to find in any brand. Healthy food overall.

So far, so good
By MelissaW on Mar 30, 2021
My very picky eater wasn't crazy about wellness large breed so we switched to core. She seems to like it and her backyard clean up has been much less offensive since we switched. Too soon to judge for her coat though.

Five star food!
By DellasDad on Jan 21, 2021
Our German shepherd really likes this chicken-based kibble. She’s been a finicky eater in the past, but is eating this food like it’s a treat. We’re really happy that this food is complete and nutritionally balanced and contains glucosamine and chondroitin to help protect her joints.
