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
Good source of antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C and dietary fiber, which helps with joint problems and promotes overall gastrointestinal health.
GROUND FLAXSEED
Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which improve the shine of the pet's coat and high in fiber which helps move food through the digestive system.

Our 4 year old labrabull Phoebe is the pickiest eater; we’ve literally tried every grain free food that we’ve been able to find and this seems to be a winner! She will even eat this completely dry; we usually have to mix a half of can of wet food in her bowl in order for her to eat but not with this one! What a great find! It isn’t stinky and it kinda feels a little moist:)

I recently purchased the CORE grain free dry dog food. My GSD was such a picky eater that I changed to raw diet. Although, she ate the raw meat well, I wasn't convinced that I wanted to continue. I had purchased a small bag of CORE just to see if she would eat it and continue to eat. We have almost finished our 20 lb. bag and she has eaten it quite well. Sometimes, she may want to eat smaller meals; but the end product is an empty bowl.

My dog normally eats an all human grade meat diet w/ vitamin/mineral supplement but I wanted a high quality dry kibble to have on hand. Well she likes it and will finish all I put down for her. My son's 2 dogs also like it. Win-Win.

I bought a 4 lb bag to try and see if my dog's stool would harden since we were having a big tummy issue and I don't know if it's this food and the probiotics or just this food but her stools have gotten so much better! The first day I got this food, I let her try a few pieces to see if she'd like it and she wouldn't leave the bag alone. Then a couple days after that she would approach her food with her tail wagging so I'm happy she's excited about what she's eating and I'm so excited that her stomach approves. She's also been eating a lot less grass which makes me feel better.

I am very pleased with this food for my dog. I use it even for a 'treat' when we are walking in the morning. I trust this kibble more than some of the treats I have seen for sale in a store. Some are very bad; be aware and do not buy them.

Barney, my Bernese Mountain pup loves this food, and it loves him. He has had the best digestion since swithcing. I treat him with the canned Core, which I give to him as a treat. It looks better than the food I eat!

We have been serving our 2 dogs wellness core grain free food for several years now. They were getting bored with the flavor we were using so we decided to mix it up. While the smell is not my favorite they LOVE it. They cannot wait to eat in the morning/evening.

Stella loves her food.... I previously used a different flavor of this brand but she wouldn't eat! So with the help of chewy.com i switched her to this flavor and its perfect for her. She's also not as gassy which is a big plus for me.

Our dog has hip and knee problems and the Nutrients in core allow him to move better and have less pain. It’s a blessing that there’s something out there that they love and helps him live his best life.
