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 Simple each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness Simple by day 7. This food is formulated for adult, non-reproducing dogs over one year old as puppies and pregnant or nursing mothers have special nutritional requirements.

I have 3 dogs of varied sizes. One with chronic gastroenteritis/colitis, one with allergies and one just fine. Every 8-12 months I change up their protein source and look for more alkalizing formulas, staying clear of potato. Just like humans, animals can build up into food sensitivities if they eat the same things all the time. Canines/wolves/dogs in the wild eat a varied protein source. ( birds/rabbits etc). I stick with Wellness brand and we changed from the Salmon and Pea to this Duck and Oatmeal formula. So far, my little one with the gastroenteritis has shown improvement. The one with allergies has less scratching, and the one that has no issues just loves the food :-) I use this dry I have 3 dogs of varied sizes.

I've been feeding my baby Wellness for a couple years, and the other flavors are fine. But to me the smell of this one is really offensive. Of course dog food in general doesn't smell good, but this doesn't even smell like food. It smells like a textile factory. It worries me to think what's in it making it smell like that.

After I adopted my dog, he was sick for months with constant diarrhea and itching. He was on apoquel and medication to stop the diarrhea. We tried a prescription diet which didn’t help. Eventually I figured out he was allergic to chicken and beef by using a hydrolyzed protien diet, but it was SO expensive. This food was the perfect transition off that expensive prescription food, and my dog’s diarrhea and itchy skin never came back! Love this food and so does my dog. I am now switching his food every few months so he doesn’t develop any more food allergies, but I will definitely keep this in the rotation!

My dog has been eating this brand for years but for some reason this recipe causes her poo to be rock hard. Adding water to it helps but there’s something different with this recipe than others in this brand. Maybe just my dog or maybe not

My one dog has chicken allergies and the other dog is very picky about what he eats. This food works well for both dogs! The dog who is picky loves this food!

I was super excited to get this quality food for my trio of Shih Tzus. One has horrible allergies and feeding different foods is out of the question. They loved the food at first, but after a few days not one of them will touch it. After almost 36 hours of none of them eating, I finally gave them their old food and everyone licked their bowls clean. I'm super disappointed and will have to reorder our old food.

In this food I finally found the right food for my dog who seems to be allergic to most foods! For the first time in his young life his stool firmed up, his tummy is no longer upset and he seems more comfortable overall. He loves his new food!

My dog is a lab/pitbull mix. She used to constantly itch, had "halos" (discoloration) around her eyes, and would chew on her feet and toes to the point of infection. We were constantly running to the vet and trying different shampoos, steroids, medications, etc. for her allergies. The vet felt strongly it was a food allergy, so I tried all different kinds of food but nothing seemed to change. That is.. until I tried this food! After a couple weeks of switching to this food her allergies completely cleared up and have stayed that way ever since! I highly recommend this for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities of any kind. Also -- people are constantly saying how beautiful her coat looks and My dog is a lab/pitbull mix.
