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!

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 DellaDad 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.

Perfect for my 93 pound dog
By Elise on Dec 18, 2020
My large dog absolutely loves his food. When we adopted him, he was eating Rachel Ray food which he seemed to like but it didn’t seem to have what he needed for a large dog like him. We switched him to Blue Buffalo but he didn’t seem to be super into the flavor... he wouldn’t even eat it right away! About a month later we just switched him to this and he LOVES it. It arrived quickly and was well packaged too.

Wellness core
By Shelby on Dec 12, 2020
I bought this food cause it has great ingredients and seemed to be the best Choice for my black lab and shepherd mix. They have been on it for a couple of months and just stopped eating it, but they never fully loved it either. Wanted to like this but switched to blue wilderness large breed salmon and they like the flavor more with no problem eating it

Wellness....Greatness !!
By Dogowner on Jan 12, 2021
My dog loves this food. We’ve tried so many different brands of dry dog food and most of them cause allergies of some sort. But not this one he loves it and there’s no allergic reactions to grains since it’s grain free.

Great food!
By PiperAndMaddiesMom1 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 Zannie 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.
