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!
Grain-Free Recipes Designed for Small Breed Dogs
Wellness knows small breed dogs have specific requirements when it comes to their nutrition. That's why they developed a CORE Small Breed Formula especially for little dogs, providing optimal calories in a smaller kibble size. This recipe is formulated with high-quality protein to help support the higher energy needs of small dogs and Omega fatty acids from salmon oil for healthy skin and coat.
Supporting Your Dog's Optimal Health to the CORE

They Love It
By ThePuppyHerder on Mar 11, 2020
My two little hellhounds love this brand. It provides the exact nutrition they need to maintain their ability to terrorize squirrels, the neighbors cat and any leaf that dare fall from the sky. I have tried other brands much to the disgust of the imps. They remind me that as their attendant I am only to use Wellness to satisfy their empty bellies. *I also very much appreciate Wellness is one of the few brands that ranks high on scores and has never had a recall.

My two Cavalier Spaniels clean up their dish with this brand. The small bite size is easier for them to chew and digest. Even the cat tries to get some.
