Dogs over 100 lbs: Add 1/4 cup per additional 10 lbs.
Combination Feeding: If feeding with Wellness wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/4 cup for every 6 oz of wet food.
For pregnant or nursing dogs: Since DHA is transferred to puppies in mother’s milk, we recommend feeding this during pregnancy and nursing. When pregnant, feed up to 50% more food according to body weight for 12 mos. For nursing dogs, allow her to eat at will.
Every puppy 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 puppy 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.

I had to peekapoos 1, 13 &1/2 who recently passed and another one that is almost 15. He is still like a puppy and so was my little girl. When we decided to get a new puppy we knew that the incredible food they have been on for years which is Wellness would definitely continue on to our new little guy. We have always been happy with wellness brand food and will continue to use it. What's great is all the different varieties!

I wanted to move my St. Bernard puppy to something a little more high end than the Purina ProPlan the breeder had been feeding him. I chose this brand of large breed puppy food based on the reviews, price (which seems very good for the ingredients and quality, more reasonable than other similar foods), and I liked that it has taurine listed (my vet mentioned recent studies have shown it is needed for heart health in large breeds). My puppy took to the food right away and had no digestive issues. I was able to switch him over very quickly with mixing in the old food for a pretty short period. And I like the large sized kibble. He seems to eat a bit slower and chew a bit more with this food and I wanted to move my St. Bernard puppy to something a little more high end than the Purina ProPlan the breeder had been feeding him.

With the recent uncertainty surrounding grain free foods we switched from Wellness Core Large Breed to this. I feel better and our Newf puppy cant get enough of it.

My 4 month old standard poodle puppy loves this food. He has done very well on it in terms of digestion and growth. Previously I had him on the Wellness Core puppy food and it was too rich for him. He had diarrhea from it and horrid gas. With the Complete Health Large Breed Puppy food he has had neither of those problems. Wellness has been super helpful, as has Chewy in refunding me for the Core food and helping me find the appropriate food.

This is a great food for our puppy. Unfortunately he has a large breed puppy so he thinks he’s hungry all the time. But we feed him accordingly to what is instructed for his age and weight. Hopefully in the next few months we will be going to the adult brand. This is a great food for puppy. Unfortunately he has a large breed puppy so he thinks he’s hungry all the time.
