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 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.

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.

I have a six month old puppy - half Golden, half husky. I first tried Nutro...he wasn't excited. Then I tried Blue Buffalo (stools were atrocious). Then VOILA, Wellness Large Breed Puppy Food to the rescue. Solid food, solid processing. And he is growing steady and strong. I am only giving 4 stars because it's new (on it for 2 weeks) but so far, I am super impressed and see alot of "Wellness" in my dog's future.

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.

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.

I'm feeding this to my 7 mo. old Golden, and she is thriving. I like it better than the Diamond naturals large breed puppy chow I got before. (She was having digestive issues on that.)

First off, Chewys customer service is by far superior to any other pet store support you will receive. My dog really enjoys this food. We have an Australian Shepherd and Black Lab mix and were originally just feeding him puppy food (he’s 5 months). Then, the vet recommended a large breed feed so we finished up his regular Merricks puppy food and switched to this and Hops seems to really enjoy it. The kibble pieces are about the size of nickels compared to the much smaller other puppy kibbles, but we will stick with this!

I purchased this for my German Shepherd puppy. I've had her on the large breed puppy food since she was 10 weeks old. She is now 10 months old. Her coat is so shiny/glossy and soft. I mix salmon oil in with her food to help with her bones & joints. When it's time to move her up to adult food, I will switch her to another wellness brand.

My 4 month GSD puppy likes this. Poops are solid, but larger and lighter brown than while on Victors. There's no problem with this kibble, but I tend to rotate and/or mix kibbles, so have moved on to a trial of Fromm LBP.

I was excited to switch our lab puppy to this food after doing a ton of research and finally deciding on this one. However, he did not like it and we had to add plain yogurt to every meal just to get him to eat it. Will be trying Precise brand next.
