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
Grain-Free Nutrition for a Healthy Weight
Wellness CORE Reduced Fat Formula helps pets with weight loss and weight management. This low-fat recipe is rich in nutritious protein like deboned turkey, turkey meal and chicken meal. Made with naturally gluten-free ingredients, CORE Reduced Fat is complete and balanced with antioxidants, Omega fatty acids, glucosamine and probiotics for your pup's optimal health.
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.

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.

Sasha, our black lab, seemed not quite 100%. She had a bout of pancreatitis in 2013 so has been on an excellent low fat gastrointestinal prescription food since then with no recurrence. I’m not sure if there was a formula or ingredient change but about 3 months ago Sasha started having flatulence and softer than normal stools. I headed into much research and learned grain and by-products can be the problem. I decided to go to grain-free reduced fat Core Wellness. I followed their transition recommendation. Stools have firmed and no flatulence. She is eager for her food and her attitude is excellent. She is back to being 12 going on 2!

I have tried a minimum of ten different dog foods for my 80lb Greyhound/GSP mix and this is the only brand that continuously agrees with his stomach. Because of a leg deformity I have needed to have him on a weight control formula since he was 1 and I know that the CORE reduced fat formula is safe for him and my 1 year old.

I have an eight year old mix Pitt bull who I’ve changed her food throughout her life. Wellness Core has been the one thus far that works for her. I used to give her Merrick before being owned by Purina and it was fine, but I would noticed her paws swelling everytime she ate it. I believe the recipe changed therefore I stopped giving it to her. Now, with Wellness Core, I haven’t encounter any issues. Love the product because it has kept my dog healthy.

Bought this food because our 6 yr old Shiloh Shepherd was getting too chunky on Taste of the Wild. However, she does not like this food at all. If I have to splice it with canned food, it is defeating the purpose of putting her on reduced fat food

My dog won't eat this product alone (unless she's really hungry). I want to help her lose a little weight and like the lower calorie content, so I mix this product with a bag of Wellness Core Ocean. My dog can still enjoy the fish in the Ocean version (her favorite) and have a lower calorie meal than if just having the Wellness Core Ocean version.

I have been feeding my senior pooch Wellness Low Fat Grain Free dog food for years. It provides him with high quality nutrition without any fillers. He gets five stars at each off his vet check ups!!

Needed a low fat dog food, this is the only one I found without going to the specialty lines. My veterinarian was pleased with the brand and the fat content. My dog is eating it well after having refused other low calorie foods. Hoping to see a difference in her triglycerides in six weeks.

Have been feeding my 92 lb. American Bully Wellness Core GF reduced fat for about 8 weeks. I searched out this particular food upon the recommendation for weight reduction and maintenance. My dog absolutely loves this food; the only problem is that not only has she not lost any weight but has gained almost a pound. I am monitoring her feed completely; feeding a very small amount in the a.m. and a little more w/ several Tbs of canned weight reduction food at dinner. She gets very, very limited treats and has exercise. I will continue to use this particular food and hope for the best. If I have to change it, I will choose another from Chewy....you are the GREATEST!!!!! Thank you.

I have two bischon fries mixes, one is diabetic and blind, both are very picky!!!!! Simon has to eat a low fat, grain free, high fiber food for his diabetes and I really like the ingredients that Wellness Core has in it so I ordered a bag and both of them went nuts for it. Of course it is topped with a small container of lil plates from Merrick and it is all gone in a matter of seconds. I am now ready to order the largest bag they have since I know for sure that they are happy with this food. I love Chewy and all the customer service workers. I order everything from Chewy from Seresto flea collars to food to grain free treats which my boys also love

As someone who works at an animal hospital, I tried the prescription weight loss food that I was able to buy with my employee discount at work. Not only did my dogs dislike the food, but I did not notice a difference in my dogs' weight nor their slightly elevated pancreatic values. I switched over to Wellness Core Reduced Fat, and not only have both of them lost weight and kept it off, but their pancreatic values decreased, and their coats look much softer and shinier. Most importantly, they love the food. I am more than willing to spend more on this food considering the results have more than proven that splurging is worth it.
