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.

Love this for our lab puppy!!
By embo on Nov 1, 2020
We love this food, and so glad we made the swap. We originally started our pup on Purina Pro Plan, Lamb and Rice because that’s what she was eating at the breeder, but it didn’t agree with her at all- she never solid poops while eating it. Our vet recommended Wellness Core, so we swapped over and viola! Perfect poops every time :), and our lab loves it. We also have been using it for training, and our pup loves it!!!

Cane Corso
By dt65d on Jan 11, 2021
We have a Cane Corso puppy she is 19 weeks now but has been on this food since we brought her home when she was 8 weeks old. She loves it and the amount of protein in this was one of the highest I could find anywhere.

Lab wouldn’t eat
By Julia on Oct 30, 2020
I have a 5 month old black lab that will eat literally anything, but he turns up his nose at this food. It has a great nutritional profile, but Jack hates it. This is a dog that spending time licking the kitchen floor hours after we’re done making dinner. I wish I didn’t spend 70 dollars on this food.

Awesome Dog Food
By GermanShepherd on Sep 27, 2020
My German Shepherd puppy loves this dog food. He is 14 months old and is still growing so I have kept him on the puppy formula. He eats every kibble and it has not caused him any bloat, gas, or health issues. I compared so many dog foods to select the best one for my loyal companion and this one was a great choice! I highly recommend it. I’m not a veterinarian but I am a Military Veteran who loves his dog.

My puppy loved this food!
By Gabbymariie on Jul 25, 2020
My German Shepard puppy loved this dry food! She ate it as is and with the wet food mixed in. It is well worth the price. I also want to point out how amazing the customer service is for this company. I had purchased this food for my puppy who unfortunately had to be put down due to a fatal condition. I was so heartbroken but the company refunded the money for this food and let me donate it too a local shelter. Chewy even sent me roses in the mail. I can’t say enough how amazing the customer service is. I am blown away with the love and thoughtfulness of the chewy team. Thank you so much :)

My picky puppy
By Sadie on Jun 23, 2020
I did lots of research on food for my Beagle/Poodle mix. I thought I had it down. I knew Beagles are prone to weight problems so I was more concerned with meeting that need. The breeder sent me home with a bag, she had no interest in it, I mixed it with I bought, still no interest. She didn’t even have interest in treats so I was worried training would be tough. In separation, I cooked up a chicken breast. That was the magic ticket for treats. Knowing she loved that I took a chance on this kibble since chicken was the first ingredient. Voila! She loves it.

pup eats every bite!
By Brook on May 24, 2020
Before we took our puppy home I did a ton of research on what pet foods are best. Multiple reputable websites and Core was always at the top of the list. Being that they are grain free and have a ton of protein. Good for a very active dog like our border collie puppy who runs around a lot. Since day one he has scarfed it down and never had a problem! I will keep getting Core for him even when he is older because the food is great!
