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.

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 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.

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!

Our Chipper has a severe food allergy. He can eat this food, happily, with no problems.

My dog loves Wellness Simple. She is allergic to chicken so I am so glad I found a non-chicken healthy food for her. This is a great dog food choice. Wellness makes great products that are so high quality and I am thankful for that.

I have a 15 year old pom. She took awhile to start liking the food as with all foods. She's enjoying it everyday now and has no problems with it. I assume that the food sits well with her.
