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

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.

Our dog likes this food, so no issues there. I was hoping he would lose a bit of weight, which hasn't happened. The reason I only give it three stars though is that there is an inordinate amount of dust/powdered food in every bag we've purchased. For every cup of food there seems to be a tablespoon or two of "dust." Mix that with dog slobber and it concretes itself to the side of the food bowl. That's my only real issue with the food. My dog seems to enjoy it.

My 4 year old American Pitbull weighs in at 83lbs and our vet claims he's overweight. I adore this dog and want him to be healthy. We walk/run 2 miles a day, he eats 2 cups of food per day with 1 treat biscuit. I was at a loss on how to get him to lose weight but knew we had to try a "diet" dog food. I wanted to find the best quality "diet" dog food out there. He has a sensitive stomach which is another factor to consider. I did my lengthy research and found this product to be my best choice. I have to agree that it is definitely a quality food that my dog took to immediately. No diarrhea or constipation, slightly softer stools.

This food for my senior beagle meets all the important criteria for a natural diet plus the extra fiber finally has her feeling satisfied and not begging constantly. She's starting to lose some weight, has a softer coat, acts more content in general. It's only been 1 month, I already bought my 2nd bag. Thank you Chewy!

We switched our golden retriever to a special diet food from our vet and she hated it. We had to mix beef stock with it just so she would eat it. I did some research and decided to buy this for her. She LOVES it. We will see how her weight does but she certainly likes it. She seems to show more energy since she’s been on Wellness.

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!

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

I have had my Lab on this for about a month now and she has lost 7 lbs!!! I feed her 2.5 cups a day and add green beans or sliced carrots and she loves it!

Delivery was prompt and price was as advertised; however, the “best if used by date” expired the very next month and I am on a 10 week auto re-order so that was a disappointment. Hopefully your next delivery will be fresher.

Great dry food that my dog loves Easy to store but would be better if they had a Velcro that closed up the bag for freshness

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.
