Combination Feeding: If feeding with Wellness wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/3 cup for every 6 oz of wet food.
Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size, activity level, breed and environment. Please use feeding guidelines as an initial recommendation and adjust as needed.
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 the 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 by day 7.
Nutrition for Large Breed Dogs
With greater size, there is more muscle to support and keep strong, so Wellness Complete Health Large Breed recipes use more protein and feature Wellness' Wellflex® system of glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate to support healthy joints. Additionally, a bigger, rounder kibble helps promote proper chewing time in larger mouths.
Supporting Complete Health
Wellness Complete Health recipes are carefully formulated with natural ingredients and super nutrients to provide whole-body nutritional support. Each tasty recipe is designed to be easily digestible and features quality protein and Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. Available in a variety of sizes and flavors, Wellness Complete Health provides uncompromising nutrition for your pet's unconditional love.
The 5 Signs of Wellness
Wellness Complete Health helps pets achieve five signs of wellness that stem from balanced, natural nutrition.
- More protein for full energy
- Added Omega-3 & 6 promote skin and coat health
- Calcium and phosphorus support healthy teeth and gums
- Prebiotics, probiotics and healthy fiber support healthy digestion
- Vitamin A and vitamin E support a healthy immune system
Fresh, Whole Food Ingredients
These recipes contain no meat by-products, artificial colors, flavorings, preservatives, corn, wheat or soy.
GROUND BARLEY
Extremely beneficial for diabetic pet diets due to its unique nutritional make-up, modest amounts of slowly digested starch and the soluble fiber ß-glucan.
SWEET POTATOES
Excellent source of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and beta carotene. The starch in sweet potatoes converts to sugar easily and provides quick energy.
CARROTS
Excellent source of fiber and minerals and a good natural source of beta carotene, an antioxidant essential for neutralizing free radicals.
TOMATOES
Great source of vitamin C, vitamin E and potassium and especially rich in the carotenoid lycopene, which is an important antioxidant known to promote good health.
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.

My vet told me to change my 7 month old St Bernard puppy to adult food because she was gaining too much weight too fast on puppy food. She was on Wellness puppy before and now is on this. The change was very hard on her stomach even with mixing very little adult food with her puppy food. I started mixing with cooked canned pumpkin for three days at one of her feedings, and she was fine. She eats the food now very quickly.

Transitioning from Nutro Ultra Large Breed, We have only had our 5 golden's on it for 2 weeks but the transition was smooth as can be! They love it! I actually mixed their old food in to help transition their digestive system and they PICKED OUT the new food and ate it leaving the old food behind. Their bowel movements didn't change either. A little early to see skin/coat effects. But so far all is great!

My dog is not a picky eater, but he loves to chew which is why I spefically look for large breed food. The kibble is no larger than regular breed food so he will take a mouthful, drop it on the floor, then pick it up and eat it.

Our Lab loved this food. We have used other brands/types of food, but she has shown us that this is, by far, the best yet. Her bowl goes empty very quickly. Highly recommend.

I just switched from the puppy formula, and it seems to be working well for my German shepherd puppy. Everyone always comments on how beautiful her coat is. It's very full and shiny, and her teeth are beautiful!

Wellness is an excellent brand of dog food with high quality ingredients. I recommend this to anyone after it cured my previous dog's tummy issues (poultry intolerance) with the Wellness Simple and she LOVED it. I also feed Wellness to our cats. But our new pup does not like any flavor of Wellness we've tried to give her. She was lukewarm on the Large Breed Puppy and wouldn't touch the Large Breed Adult when she hit 12 months. We also tried the Lamb Complete Health, the Core and the Turkey. No joy. I finally had to resign myself to the fact that she doesn't like Wellness brand foods. After advice from our vet we ended up switching to a different brand with salmon as the main protein source which Wellness is an excellent brand of dog food with high quality ingredients.

But just because one of my dogs doesn't like Wellness doesn't mean I think it deserves one star, some dogs are just picky! Try Wellness for your fur kids. If they love it, stick with it! If they don't, call Chewy for a refund and donate the bag to a local rescue or shelter. Our Humane Society was happy to take our pup's uneaten bags of Wellness! … more

My Rotti pup would not have cared if I mixed this with his present puppy food to switch him over. He preferred it, actually, to what he had been eating. Seems to like the size of the kibble much better and I don't have to add a topper to get him to eat. This will be his adult food for now as he is looking great and eating good.

I have a six month old male yellow lab. We have been through three food switches since I had him...the last one was okay, but I wanted to improve the ingredients. We started on the Wellness Core Puppy as it was recommended by the lab site, but unlike some other reviews here, he seems to gobble this up more than the smaller kibble from the Core. Originally we were on a salmon puppy food and then switched to a chicken and rice to ease stomach issues. I like that the large breed puppy from Wellness has whitefish as the second ingredient as you seem to get a good balance of protein from fish. Here's hoping he sticks with this for the next 12 months! Thanks Wellness large breed!

Our son rescued a boxer from the shelter. He's white with black polka dots. He didn't have a good coat and you could see his ribs. We put him on Wellness Large Breed and man he looks so much better. Beautiful coat, noticable difference. He's much happier, plays all the time.

Thank you. I was very happy to receive the bag of food. My local pet store does not carry this size bag and I don’t like buying the larger size. It takes too long for my dog to consume it. So this is great. The product is great and Chewy is great.
