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.
Grain-Free Nutrition for Puppies
It's important that puppies receive the proper nutrition in order to grow healthy and strong. Wellness CORE Puppy Formulas are complete and balanced with optimal calories for growth in a smaller kibble size. These recipes contain balanced levels of protein and fat to support puppies' needs as well as salmon, a natural source of DHA, to promote cognitive development.
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.

Huskies love
By Drubby on Feb 1, 2020
I have two 8 month old huskies. We got one sister in July and the other in September. Nova was on Wellness core from the start. It made her coat full and vibrant plus it helped keep her healthy. Mercy was on a different brand of food from the start. She came to us skinnier then her sister and her coat was coarse and dull looking. We transitioned her to wellness core. Mercy is now very healthy looking and her coat is soft, full and beautiful just like her sisters. The girls are both healthy and happy. They love their food! They get excited every time a chewy box comes with their food or their wellness core treats.

ZOOMIE BOOSTER!
By Laura on Oct 16, 2019
My 5 month beagle loves this!!!! She previously ate Wellness Complete Health, which was great. However, we were led to believe that she might have allergies. It has been about three weeks of her eating it and I have never seen this amount of energy, EVER!!! She zooms all throughout our apartment. She’s usually a very aloof puppy, but now she’s active. Fortunately, she hasn’t been destructive in the household. I think this helped her come out of her shell. As for the allergies, she’s not obsessively scratching anymore.

Dog with health issues
By Pitrsqr on Nov 20, 2019
Our vet reccomended we put one of our senior dogs on puppy food so she could gain weight. We were happy with the overall good ingredients and nutritional value with none of the garbage ingredients!! Our old girl gained some weight and has more vitality again.

By Irene on Dec 2, 2019

Truth or consequences
By Popsilk on Sep 27, 2019
I question everything and not scared to criticize anything. With the pet food wars going on and research experts now offering their advise with this new and added twist of sending us to 1 or 2 mega stores selling the item really makes me wonder anymore hence all I can say about another warm and fuzzy title "wellness core" is that my gsd pup eats it more than the other high profile bragsters, however, I can't say for sure if it's because it tastes better, or he senses and craves certain nutrients or...both of the above.

Best Puppy Food!
By cbesley17 on Jan 5, 2020
We tried a couple of grain free options, this was the best by far! The Wellness brand makes the best fried kibble.

Doesn’t upset puppy’s tummy
By Jenna on Oct 13, 2019
I tried one other brand before this food, simply nourish, and it was giving my puppy very loose poop. I gave this food a try and her poops are normal and her coat is so shiny.

Really great food.
By OskiBear on Jul 22, 2019
My puppy is 5 months old. I’ve had her for 2 weeks. Her coat is so shiny and she really likes it. More importantly, the vet cautioned not to buy dog food with beans (counteracts with other ingredients and causing heart issues?). Wellness dog food does not contain beans (good). I also have two Goldens that have been on Wellness for years.
