BAD GAS & MUSHY #2

I should have read these reviews before purchasing. While my new puppy loved the food, she has had terrible smelly gas and very soft stool. She was going up to 5-6 times a day too, and of course accidents in the house were a nightmare. I finally got her a new food this weekend and started the transition right away, I can already tell a difference. No gas so far and stool is more normal/less often. Unfortunately I think this is the result of high protein diet. It was a no go for my pup.

Great for seniors!

When my senior dog started losing weight her veterinarian suggested puppy food for additional calories. She had lost all interest in her "senior" kibble but enjoys this puppy formula and is eating more now.

I can’t find a dog food for my 5 month old YorkiePoo.

She won’t eat the CORE High Protein Puppy with grains. She came with Health Extension Little Bites which she does eat. I have another dog who is a Senior and I have been feeding to both - it’s for All Stages? I don’t believe a dog food is OK for both PUPPY and a Senior dog. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Please send me your thoughts.

GassyFactory

This food caused our puppy to have terrible gas and super soft poops. Unfortunately this is not for him. However I will say he loves it and literally eats the whole bowl but unfortunately it's a big no for our household.

so much chicken

My dogs can’t tolerate chicken. Seriously liquid poop. We’ve switched foods.

No takers here

I bought this for our 10 month old Norwegian Elkhound. She is one of those dogs who thinks she is starving so gobbles up food as fast as you can put it in her dish. She not only isn't eating this but pieces that drop out of her mouth are still on the floor. Anything added-- white chicken meat, cheese, a few drops of milk are consumed and the Wellness Protein puppy food is ignore. 1:30. Breakfast is still untouched. Bummer. Expensive.

Good ingredients

I did months of research on dog nutrition before my pup came home. I then tried 3 different high-quality (and expensive) foods before settling on this one. My pup had diarrhea with all of them until I tried this one!! She loves the taste gobbles it down. I like this one bc it is one of the HIGHEST protein content kibbles I’ve found (I don’t want to go raw) & it doesn’t have peas, wheat or corn. I tried the Wellness Raw Rev, but her stomach didn’t like it which is strange bc she does fine with all of the freeze-dried raw treats I give her.

2 Boxer Puppies Not Crazy About It

Our 2 six-month old Boxer Puppies have been challenging to find a food they will eat for more than a couple of days. They liked this at first BUT when I tried the Wellness Core RawRev Puppy with Health Grains they stopped eating this one because they went NUTS for the RawRev and can’t get enough of it. They might have been okay if I hadn’t compared this with the RawRev - that’s okay though. Happy to have found a happy favorite for them in the RawRev. Wellness is an awesome company and makes great products. Glad we found them overall.
