Wellness CORE Hearty Cuts in Gravy Whitefish & Salmon Recipe Grain-Free Canned Dog Food, 12.5-oz, case of 12

My two dogs refused to even taste this food. I’m surprised my beagle refused food for the first time to even try it. She usually eats anything. I don’t know what was wrong.

Thanks to other reviewers, I knew beforehand this recipe was formulated with primarily turkey, then white fish and a little bit of salmon. That's not what I expected from the picture, but it so happens that the "Hearty Cuts in gravy" line has relatively low in fat nutritional profile for canned dog food (20% fat dry matter basis as opposed to 40% for other typical canned food). My pups are all seniors. I wanted to give them wet food, but I was having a hard time finding reduced fat wet food. This seemed like a good food to try. It also happened that Wellness Core was on sale, and the company also had a good reputation for quality ingredients and good manufacturing practice.

Boy, Chewy is fast! It always amazes me just how quickly the order gets processed and arrives at the door. I was half expecting to receive many dented cans from reading many complaints posted on other canned dogs foods - Guess what? Chewy listens. Each case was packed with a double-walled cardboard lid over the top to protect the cans from damaging. I ordered three cases, and every single one arrived in perfect condition! Food quality seems to stand for the reputation. The content consists mostly sliced loaf-like meaty bits mixed with just enough gravy that coats the loaf lices - the gravy is more like a sauce, in a way. It's been only a couple of days since I started to use it on top of dry kibbles for my three pups. They weren't sure the first day, but they must have liked it. Today, they couldn't wait to get some more. I like rotating proteins and feed my pups varieties. I think I'll try other flavors, too. … more

I use this as a topper for my finicky eater and it's great, she loves it, but be aware that it's not a primarily fish recipe. Next time I order, I am going to switch to another flavor and supplement with Welactin instead.

We love topping out GSD's dry food with sardines, tuna or salmon which are typically in their natural form. Since this is known for being a great brand we decided to give it a try. The food didn't smell fishy like it should and when I checked the ingredients the first ingredient was turkey followed by salmon broth, not actual salmon. There is whitefish in it but it's not recognizable as fish. The texture looks like the ingredients were fused together to form a brown loaf that was sliced and resembles liver. Our GSD ate it and seemed to like it but I wouldn't purchase if you're looking for fish

If you're looking for a high quality canned dog food, the Wellness CORE is great. My dog loves the whitefish and salmon, and you get what you pay for with the quality. It is more expensive than others, but at least you know what your dog is getting.

I really liked that it doesn't look gross lol. My dog loves it. I crush up his meds and mix it in and he doesn't even notice. We have been getting it for years now and the product hasn't changed which I love.

My 3 girls absolutely love wellness Core I switched them from Merrick to wellness Core an I'm 100% glad I did it was a great choice but as far as the fish goes they weren't having it they would smell it an walk away everytime I offered it to them but would eat every other flavor with no problem I tried 3 cans an each time they refused it threw out 9 cans kinda wasted money but wanted them to try it unfortunately they didn't like it keep in mind this is my review about my girls maybe your dog might like it it's a hit or miss with everything you buy

I judge on how the pups react to the food they loved it

I have come to the conclusion that my dog doesn't like fish ... of any sort ... thus the (perhaps unfair) low rating above.

My dog are picky eaters and love This food , they gobble it up
