Promise the one you love - your dog - that you will not feed him/her junk! I had my dog on another health food that ended up making several dogs ill. I selected that food because my last dog had a lot of allergies and I didn't want that for Sadie.

Core has changed my Jack-A-Poo's life. One month on it and she no longer scratches or chew at her feet. She's lost 2 lbs and reacts different. Sadie is happier and plays more.

Pros: digestible

Cons: price

Oh boy gave this product to my poor little yorkie, and gave him very very bad gas, and as soon as i stopped feeding him this, his gas stopped completely. It makes me really think what they put in this product!!! I recommend the Wellness Small Breed Supermix.

Cons: price, Taste, smell, low quality

Great Food for our Girls

We started our first little one, 2.3lbs at 5-6wks, on Wellness Puppy Food, the Dry kind. Then because she was so very small my husband thought she should have some can food mixed with her dry food. She ate both so very good and loved her food. So when we got our second "little" one, she was older than our first, but not by much and twice the size. She loved Wellness Food and loved, still does, the time of day when they get their mixed food. Our second one was itching her skin an awful lot and I felt bad for her so I talked to the special people that work at Pet Smart and they recommened Wellness Core. This is so fantastic for our girls. It helped her all but stop itching and they both love their food. They have beautiful coats and never eat more than they need, we just leave the dry food out for them so whenever they are hungry the eat what they want, which between the two is a bowl a day, about 1C or so. We also love the Wellness Treats for them, of course the ones without grain. My husband even says their food and treats are great tasting, no by products real meat and veges, and yes he did try each kind they are that full of real foods. They all love the Venison Jerkey Treats and the girls love the canned lamb & ? food, which I'm out of now and getting more tonight. We just can't do without Wellness for our little girls, only the best!!!

Pros: high quality, digestible, taste

Never again will I buy this dog food. My dogs took a few bites and would not touch it again. I have 5 chihuahuas and none of them liked it. Not sure how it got a 5 star rating but not from me.

I have two shih tzu mixes who have been chewing their feet a lot, leaving the fur on their feet and around their mouths a reddish brown. After a month on the wellness grain free, they stopped chewing and after the groomer cut off the brow fur at their last haircut, their feet are nice and white and are staying that way!! I can tell they feel better too! We've been using it for about three months now and I'll continue to buy this for them.

I had my little Chihuahua on Pediegree Small Dog formula and he was eating grass and making himself sick about 3 times a week. I switched to Wellness and he hasn't done it since. He is also a picky eater, but loves this food. I strongly recommend it.

My pomeranian is a picky eater when it comes to dry food. Have tried different foods, had no luck with her eating them. Did a lot of research especially for gluten free and found this. Also love it that it freshens her breath. Will always buy this food and would recommend it to eveyone for their dogs health. Thanks for this dog food.

Sadie, my 2 yr Havanese, has been on Wellness since she was a puppy. She weighs in at 8.3 lbs. and has a very sensitive stomach. Since switching to Wellness Core, her stomach problems have stopped. I like Wellness because it provides my dog with the best nutritional products needed for my small dog. Sadie's coat is so silky and shiny and she has so much energy that she tires my other dog. She loves her food and looks forward to eating each day.

Pros: price, high quality, digestible, taste

My Havanese had a problem with skin rashes on and off for 5 years! I researched and found out that some dogs can be allergic to grains! Started on Grain Free Wellness Core 9 months ago and he's never had another rash!

I have two very picky chihuahuas (10 & 4 years) that were starting to look a little thin. I was wanting something that they would eat and to give them more protein. I was very pleased with the results. The small bits are great for them and they eat it up and look like they have put back on some ounces =) This doggie mom is very happy with results!!

Our two little rescued doxie girls needed some special TLC. We tried 2 or 3 foods before we hit on this. I like the ingredients and no grain. They LOVE it. Their coats and skin have improved greatly and they are thriving.

The kibble size was very, very small, too small for my 18 lb. Doxie mix. I am mixing it with Wellness Core Reduced Fat in the regular size kibble so as not to waste it. Started him on this on 9-16-12 by mixing it half and half with his prior food, Nutro Ultra Small Breed. Within a week his coat was so shiny and it is velvety smooth. I'm amazed every time I touch him.
