Solved our dog's sensitive tummy issue

We have two dogs - one is an 86lb lab mix, and the other is a 39lb husky. When we graduated the husky from puppy food to adult food, she loved her sister's food

We have two dogs - one is an 86lb lab mix, and the other is a 39lb husky. When we graduated the husky from puppy food to adult food, she loved her sister's food (the large breed version of this product) so we were feeding her that, but we noticed that she would eat it without properly crunching it up and then puke it up about 25% of the time (the kibble was always whole when she brought it back up). We were stumped. We took her to the vet and explained how we feed our dogs (they always get some bone broth with the kibble as well as cooked chicken breast and/or some freeze dried beef toppers). The vet examined her and confirmed nothing was wrong. We finally wondered if maybe the kibble bits were just too big for her so we tried this bag and voila! No more puking! So even though she's not a small breed, she apparently needs small kibble. We love the quality of Wellness Core and are glad we found a kibble type that works for our sensitive little husky.

My picky eater needs this mixed with freeze dried chicken kibble or shredded cheese. He’s a grazer but will eventually clean his bowl. He likes it better than the Nutro small breed kibble I was using before.

Healthy coat and easy on digestion

My dog loves this food! I do mix it with a small amount of raw food as well and her coat is incredible and she not have any tummy troubles on this formula at all

My dog loves this food! I do mix it with a small amount of raw food as well and her coat is incredible and she not have any tummy troubles on this formula at all. Whenever she sneaks into her friend’s food, it causes tummy trouble immediately, but not with one.

Didn’t work for her

I tried twice to introduced the food, mixing it with her other kibble, but both times she got very ill. I’m not sure why, but I gave the bag away to a rescue.
