Combination Feeding: If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount fed by 1/3 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 dog food
By Luna on Jan 13, 2021
After reading online reviews for top grain free dog foods (not on Chewy), this was one of the too picks. We tried it because my baby has severe skin problems with allergies. She loves it and I didnt feel that it had the high fishy smell that was the biggest complaint. However, my dog is rather large and the amount of food she would consume would be very costly. She’s worth it but she has other allergies so I think we will invest in allergy medication instead. The cost is the only reason for four stars rather than five.

My dogs are not a fan
By EZNY on Jan 28, 2021
Normally I use Buffalo Blue products but we wanted to try Core brande as alternative healthy food. Unfortunately, my dogs are not liking it very much. Also, be prepared for very smelly food (maybe thats the reason they don't like it). But, it seems high quality, just not for us.

Best for allergies
By Schmitts on Nov 19, 2020
Recently our Mastiff became covered in red, blotchy, spots that turned to scabs and caused hair loss. We headed to the vet. She suspected after all these years, he developed a food allergy, and most common she said, is beef and poultry. She suggested we try a change in food and treats. We looked up the best foods to try. Core by Wellness has whitefish and had very high ratings. We bought a 4lb bag to try out. He loved it, he also loved the treats we got him. After a month now, he is doing so much better. I believe the vet was right. Definitely sticking to this food.

Dogs love it.
By Yummy on Feb 21, 2021
I have one finicky eater and I am mixing this with their old food to transfer to the new brand. My finicky eater is eating without having to be told.

My chessie loves this
By Jc20 on Dec 11, 2020
I have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever with mild/severe allergies. He absolutely loves this dog food. At times he is very picky about what he eats, yet with food he eats it quite readily. It is a bit stinky but if he is eating and not having an allergic reaction it’s worth it.

Best food for my girls...
By Autumn on Nov 14, 2020
Fed Wellness to my last Boxer girl all her life. Now my Terrier eats it and I bought this recipe for new 22 mo. old Boxer. She loves the flavor, i even use it for treats. I love Wellness because what very little needs to be fed is so highly nutritional and absorbed and very little comes out that needs to be cleaned up. When compared to other foods, the piles are enormous and so many it's hard to keep up.

Switch for the good!
By Newfood on Jan 18, 2021
Our Shepard was on a specific prescription food, a vet friend recommended that we try this new food for her. It’s been great to help her leaky gut.

So So offering
By Gawfer on Nov 3, 2020
We've been feeding our 3 dogs Chicken Wellness Core for 3 years now, and recently noticed a lot of scratching, so we decided to transition to the Ocean flavor. The price is higher than the chicken and the itching hasn't subsided so we're looking for another grain free food that's processed a little different in hopes of alleviating the itching. Additionally, the odor is strong, so if you don't like the smell of Fisherman's Warf, you won't appreciate this food.

No I do not recommend any Wellness product!
By Kathy on Oct 23, 2020
No I do not recommend any Wellness product. My healthy St. Bernard was doing great until I changed to Wellness. Horrible. My St. Bernard got sick almost right away from this product. Each time I fed her she got sicker. Finally pulled her off this product and she is better. I then went on a search to find out what was in Wellness that made her sick. After what I read, I will NEVER EVER feed Wellness again to any pet I have.
