Combination Feeding: If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount fed by 1/8 cup, for every 2 tbsp. 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!

Best Food for my Pomeranians
By HelenD on Jan 26, 2021
After trying many different high quality brands, I finally found the food for my little Poms. After one week I noticed their fur went from pretty to spectacular. I have done much research on food for these little ones as they are my first Poms. Everything they need nutritional is in the food. Is the price high? Yes, but it’s worth every Penny.

By Joci on Nov 27, 2020
New food, and honestly I’ve never known him to eat so much usually it would take him days to finish his other dog food. Big A plus!

My Pomeranian approves
By Taylor on Sep 30, 2020
My picky Pomeranian actually approves this food. She has been so picky lately since she gets old. The kibbles fit her bite sizes well. I used to by Royal Canine for small senior dog but it was too big. I think I’ll probably stay with this for a while

GREAT STUFF!
By Skippy on Jul 19, 2020
My daughter adopted a cute senior 'Chiweenie (Chihuaua\Dachshund Mix). He was very thin as was his fur. I researched recommendations and bought this for him. Amazing! A complete transformation...and he loves it! He has quickly gained weight and his fur is now lush. He looks like a different dog and is less 'hyper'. The Wellness Core Small Breed is a balanced diet and a real 'health food'. We're sold. Thank You.

picky 15 yr old and dry food!
By Tobyboy on Sep 13, 2020
My little guy absolutely loves this food. I've tried some of the other dried food and it was okay, but he took to this at first bite and he now let's me know when it's time to eat.
