At Wellness, they believe that animals' nutritional needs always come first, even over cost. Wellness diets represent the most nutritious ingredients used in the correct proportions for optimum health benefits. They seek ingredients that they would eat and that provide naturally occurring minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, in order to minimize the need for additional supplements. And, they do not use artificial colors in their foods, with natural preservatives used only in some of our treats and in limited portions.
Wellness believes that food is the first step to a long, happy and healthy life and a proper diet can be a preventative step to combat future ill-health. They constantly innovate, in order to provide the most healthy, delicious nutrition for the animals that depend on them, using the latest in research and advice from their team of Animal Nutritionists, Veterinarians and Food Scientists.
Wellness Pet Food manufactures Wellness Core, Wellness Simple Food Solutions and Mother Hubbard. Click on the images below to go to the specific pages for those brands.
Indoor Health - Cat Food - Indoor Health is a well-rounded, solution-focused diet of meats, grains and fruits for cats that live indoors. These cats tend to gain weight (lifestyle is more sedentary), experience dry skin (from continued exposure to indoor air and heat), and have increased hairballs (from constant grooming and hair loss from dry skin).
All of these issues seem worse to their respective owners who interact much more with their indoor cat including a close watch of litterbox use or more lap time. With this in mind, we have focused on lifestyle specific nutrition for healthy and happy indoor cats and their owners.
Holistic Nutrition for your Indoor Adult Cat
A focus on Urinary Tract Health with:
Ideal Urine pH - Stones will not form in urine that is neither too acidic or too alkaline - Data showing low Standard Error of Mean and therefore extremely accurate results
Controlled Ash & Mineral (Ca, Mg) levels - Help prevent urinary calcium and/or magnesium stones from forming - Low mineral levels without the use of corn or corn gluten
Natural Cranberry Power - Natural urine acidifiers and bacteria fighters with 3 distinct sources of cranberries
Hairball Management
-Increased levels of fiber to help move hairballs through the digestive tract -Omega Fatty Acids promote healthy skin, thus the reduction of hair loss
Weight Management -Less fat and fewer calories support a more sedentary indoor lifestyle -With guaranteed amounts of L-Carnitine to promote increased fat metabolism

Large Breed Adult Health - Dog Food - With grand scale and greater weight, your large breed dog has a unique physical composition that creates special nutritional needs.
Obesity is a Bigger Challenge for Large Breeds Extra weight puts extra stress on a large frame, so it's important for your dog to feel satiated without consuming excess calories. With moderate fat, this recipe helps control energy intake allowing your dog to eat enough and still maintain a healthy weight every day.
Small Digestive Tracts Relative to Body Size It is important for large breeds to easily digest and process food. We include live, naturally-occurring micro-organisms to support digestive health and we ensure optimal nutrient absorption through our Digestool™ confirmation studies - less nutrients in the stool, means more nutrients in the body.
Higher Percentage of Muscle Mass With greater size, there is more muscle to support and keep strong so we use 13% more protein than our Super5Mix Complete Health Recipe with 4 quality animal protein sources.
Need to Keep Joints Healthy Carrying an average weight of 100 pounds is hard work. To help keep joints healthy, this recipe features our WellFlex® System - 750 mg/kg of glucosamine hydrochloride and 250 mg/kg of chondroitin sulfate.
Large Breeds Tend to Eat Too Fast This bigger, rounder kibble is designed to promote proper chewing time in larger mouths. We also guarantee your dog will love the taste of each healthy, flavorful bite. Outstanding fiber source for healthy digestion. A naturally rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

As previously submitted for the 'Peanuts & Honey' recipe of the Wellness WellBars, my girl 'Dixie' has really been enjoying that particular recipe/formula; not so much, however, for this recipe/formula.

My yorkies absolutely love this food and they are very particular about the consistency.It is really a 5-star food at our house.
2. Bonnie on 9/4/2010, said:
Not only does my dog absolutely love this food but I believe its organic nature has reduced her petit mal seizures. When I first adopted her she was having multiple attacks a week. Medication cut them by a little but after 2-3 weeks of being on this food they subsided more and more till now she only has a few a year. I know chemicals can trigger this issue and this food seems to have helped tremendously. Just anecdotal I know but it's true none the less.
3. Gerald E. on 2/26/2010, said:
A bit "pastey" in consistency so difficult to mix with dry food. That said, it is a high quality product afd our dogs like it a lot.

Large Breed Puppy Health - Dog Food - With a longer growth cycle and faster potential growth rate, your large breed puppy has a unique physical composition that creates special nutritional needs.
Controlled Bone Development Optimal skeletal development depends on appropriate amounts of calcium and phosphorus. We carefully control these mineral levels and then guarantee their accuracy on every bag - so you can be sure your puppy will grow strong bones at the right pace.
Paced, Steady Growth Rate With a potential growth up to 100 times their birth weight, a large breed puppy's energy intake must be regulated to ensure consistent, steady growth. That's why this special recipe controls calories with 20% less fat than Super5Mix Just for Puppy.
The Right Start to a Healthy Weight With more weight on larger frames, maintaining ideal body condition is a big concern. Since lean muscle is the foundation of healthy weight, this recipe has 26% protein with 4 quality animal protein sources to help develop strong, lean muscle.
DHA to Support Brain Development Smart and trainable, large breed dogs often grow up to lead and serve. To help support cognitive development vital to training, we use salmon meal and salmon oil to provide DHA, a fatty acid normally found in their mother's milk.
50% Longer Growth Cycle Some large breeds are considered puppies for up to 24 months so they need a healthy food that tastes great day after day. With satisfaction guaranteed, we use deboned chicken and whitefish to provide a natural taste that puppies love.

How to Feed Your Puppy: As puppies grow up they need to learn when, where and how to eat. Depending on age, puppies need to be fed at the same time and in the same place 2 - 4 times per day. Food should be removed after 20 minutes, if not eaten. In the beginning, puppy's food can be moistened with a little warm water. It is very important that your puppy not overeat, as this can lead to skeletal development issues in large breeds.
Determining Feeding Portions: Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your puppy per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Wellness believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your puppy's diet.

For dogs over 100 lbs: Add ¼ cup per additional 10 lbs.
For Pregnant or Nursing Dogs: Since DHA is transferred to puppies in mother's milk, we recommend feeding this during pregnancy and nursing. During this time allow her to eat at will.
Combination Feeding If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/3 cup for every 6 oz of wet food.
Nutrition is only one part of the equation! Be sure to give your puppy plenty of love, plenty of exercise and see your veterinarian regularly to help ensure total wellness.
My pup (a great pyrenees) started having loose stool after I began feeding him this. Ingrediants say it is a good food, but it didn't work out for him and made house breaking that much harder.

We have a 10 month old German Shepherd puppy, MAJEK, who isn't much of a foodie, so what she eats has to have exceptional value. She seems to enjoy Wellness for Large Breeds more than some of the other premium brands she has had during food rotation every 3 months or so and food blends. She has one large meal of kibble/can and one smaller meal of raw/raw bones daily. She has maintained nice slow steady growth and is currently 62 pounds. We are expecting her to finish around 70 pounds and we expect to have her on a large breed puppy food for at least another year.

My Golden puppy does very well on this food. His skin is perfect and his stools are small and well formed. He loves the food so much, I can even use it as training treats.

She likes it but sometimes she won't eat it all or just wait until she realizes she doesn't have any other option. I might try something different. Still going to test this a little longer.

My cats love this canned cat food...and, it ties with the Salmon and Lobster. Wellness Brand cat food was the only cat food that my sick cat could eat for years, due to food allergies.
