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, Protein-Focused Dry Food
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. These unique, grain-free recipes support and nurture your pet, contributing to his inner wellbeing all the way through to his core.
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.
Fresh, Whole Food Ingredients
Wellness CORE provides a balanced profile of high-quality, natural ingredients appropriate for everyday feeding. These grain-free recipes contain absolutely no meat by-products, artificial colors, flavorings, preservatives, corn, wheat or soy.
BROCCOLI
Great source of fiber and vitamin C and boosts the immune system, supports skin and heart health and helps the body release toxins.
SPINACH
Exceptionally rich in carotenoids, including beta-carotene and lutein, and also contains quercetin, a phytochemical with antioxidant properties.
CARROTS
Excellent source of fiber and minerals and a good natural source of beta carotene, an antioxidant essential for neutralizing free radicals.
KALE
Highly nutritious vegetable which is high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin and also a good source of calcium.
APPLES

GROUND FLAXSEED

Dog Allergies
By sunpiepop on Sep 30, 2020
My mom and dad bought this food for my food allergies ,but I still still scratch a lot, and so do my brothers and sisters. I and my sisters and brothers love the taste of this food, but we don't like scratching all the time. Mom and Dad are trying to help us, so we still love them. Love Sammie

No go. PU says my poodle
By Tass on Oct 7, 2020
My dog would not eat this flavor. He loves other core cables. When I gave him one cable to sniff after several days of hardly eating, he gagged! I gave the food away

Need tons of protein but has a soy allergy
By Staffi3 on Aug 12, 2020
I go on tons of adventures with my dog. So she needs lots of protein and vitamins for our active lifestyle, but she has a slight soy allergy. Eating grass, licking her paws and itching, sneezing, and soft stools. We swapped to this and it’s a total game changer!

More expensive but just as good
By MBDPFan on Jul 29, 2020
My lab mix has been eating Wellness Core Grain-Free original and I thought a change would be nice. I don't see a difference. I will be switching back to the less expensive variety.

Dog heart failure
By Krista on Jun 9, 2020
Please don’t feed this to your dog. I’ve been feeding this to my dog for a while now, and now he’s having heart failure. My vet thinks this grain free food may be the cause. They’ve seen several cases of heart failure related to grain free foods, and specifically mentioned this brand.
