Wellness Simple Limited Ingredient Diet Lamb & Oatmeal Formula Dry Dog Food, 26-lb bag

I have always had labs and allergies are no stranger to the breed but typically a good food and good supplements were effective for my crew. But I have one itchy girl that I have been cycling through different low ingredient foods to find the right one for her. Wellness Simple looks like a winner. Her breath improved immediately. The itching decreased dramatically (the bag is still new) I am fully expecting more improvements as her system clears from the previous food. She isn’t panting without cause (like exercise) and is way more comfortable.

My German Shep was Diagnosed with EPI 3 years ago. We battled at feeding time. She wanted nothing to do with eating. After many brands and flavors, Wellness Simple was suggested by another EPI owner. Silver loves it. We very rarely have any issues trying to get her to eat. And that usually is due to her EPI. We are very happy campers!!!

I have a Bernedoodle who has had very soft to watery stools with every food we’ve tried until the Wellness Simple Lamb and oatmeal. The duck and oatmeal is second best, but both are out of stock. We did months of vet treatments and tests with no answer. Breeder says Berners have very sensitive stomachs. We can’t go back to watery diarrhea in a 60 pound dog and trying random foods again. Wellness Simple Lamb and Oatmeal was the best, so where can I find it or did they discontinue it? So far 3 Petsmarts haven’t had it either.

My dog was having loose stools since I got her at 11 weeks. She was on chicken and rice By life abundance because the breeder was feeding her that when I got her and her stools were never hard enough to not have to pull grass out when picking it up. Then I tried Merrick chicken puppy food and her stools were horrendous. So the vet gave us metronidazole and prescription Hill’s science diet low fat chicken flavor, it was an improvement but she was still having soft stools. Fast forward to about a month ago I switched her to this wellness LID lamb and oatmeal, it took about a week for her system to become used to it and her stools have been the most solid I’ve ever seen.

I’m not sure what I would of done if I didn’t find this food... Yes it’s possible she had a chicken allergy but I think in general with the limited ingredients in this food and the oatmeal instead of rice as the main carb has really contributed in helping her stomach issues. Definitely try this one if your having trouble with your dogs tummy. … more

A little background: when I adopted my dog, she was 14 weeks old and had been eating an average quality puppy formula. We ended up having issues with Zarya not liking the puppy food and leaving it in her bowl and after discussing with our vet, decided to look for a higher quality dog food. I used Dog Food Advisor as a jumping-off point, then followed up with additional research. We landed on a very high quality freeze-dried kibble, varying the protein with each new bag because Zarya was still not gulping down her kibble and would sometimes leave it in her bowl for a few hours before eating - I hoped the variety might make kibble more enticing.

A couple months ago, we started to notice that Zarya would lick her lips excessively after eating (sometimes for 10+ minutes), was very gassy, constantly scooting, and she was developing some irritation/sores around her mouth. The vet felt that Zarya might have a chicken allergy, so we switched to only the beef formula kibble, to no avail. The vet recommended switching Zarya to a senior formula or a limited ingredient formula, so we chose this Wellness kibble. It has not even been a month since the switch and Zarya's mouth sores have cleared up, she is no longer gassing us out of our house, and she's actually excited to eat! She even starts to pester me to feed her about a half hour before her dinner time. I tried to feed Zarya the "best" kibble, but something in it obviously did not agree with her. Zarya is shiny, energetic, excited to eat, and her poo looks great - so we're sticking with Wellness! Would 100% recommend Wellness Simple if your dog needs an easier to digest formula. … more

This food has worked well for my Blue Doberman, Kaine. He loves the taste. His skin is less flakey, less itching and scratching. This limited ingredient food has greatly improved his poops from toothpaste to solid. My only gripe is you are limited to only a 26lb bag.

The food smells like cheap dog food and the pieces are so hard that none of our dogs will eat it, unless we soak it in water. Will keep looking for a more suitable brand.

Our dog seems to like it, he loves lamb his treats that he really loves is lamb lungs.

I was feeding my dogs Blue Buffalo Basics food do to sensitive stomach. Then came the warnings. So, I switched to Wellness and am mixing the food to get them used to it. They seem to like it. Fingers crossed.

My vet recommended I get my dog on a grain free food with limited ingredients due to allergies. He has been on this food for years with no allergy issues since! I highly recommend this brand of food, and my dog has tried the salmon/ potato and lamb/oatmeal varieties and seems to love both equally! Furthermore, I can’t recommend Chewy.com enough. The prices are competitive, customer service is fantastic and the convenience of having the dog food on a regular schedule that shows up at your door can’t be beat!
