It is important to slowly transition your puppy 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® CORE® each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness® CORE® by day 7.

Corgi puppy not a fan
By Bentleythecorgi on Aug 6, 2021
I started giving my corgi puppy this good from the time I got him (obviously transitioning him slowly from breeder food to this) and it was reluctant at first but I thought it could be just because he wasn’t food motivated and stressed because of being in a new environment. However, it never warmed up to it and I had to mix Ollie fresh food with it for him to even touch it. The only reason I didn’t return it was because I thought he’d start liking it (obviously was wrong) and because the nutritional value is so great, and the fact that protein is so high with lower crude fat which is essential for corgis as they need higher protein but prone to weight gain (and yes I know puppies shouldn’t worry I started giving my corgi puppy this good from the time I got him (obviously transitioning him slowly from breeder food to this) and it was reluctant at first but I thought it could be just because he wasn’t food motivated and stressed because of being in a new environment.

After the bag was done (when he was 6 months) I changed him to Orijen puppy food and boy let me tell you, he LOVES meal time now. More than Ollie fresh food and definitely more than this food. So I’d recommend this food IF your puppy will eat it. The kibble is also larger and harder than Orijen kibble and other puppy foods, just a warning for smaller/medium size puppies. … more

WELLNESS IS THE BEST
By Connie on May 5, 2021
Wellness is the best dog food on the market. They stand behind their product, they don't use by products. I love the Core Grain-Free for my Doodle puppy, his fur is beautiful and he is very healthy. I used Wellness for my two previous schnauzers and they lived to be 17 and 18 years old. Great dog food.

don’t waste your money
By casey on May 27, 2021
My puppy wouldn't come near this food, he was so excited to eat and then he would smell it and walk away. Switched to a different brand and he gobbled it down.

Wellness Core was a HUGE HIT
By Roman on Feb 23, 2021
After trying other brands and not having any success with the soft stool issue my rottweiler/doberman mix puppy was experiencing. We switched to wellness core, what a difference. He loves the food and no more soft stool.
