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 believes that cats and dogs have different nutritional needs - because cats are carnivores and dogs are omnivores. For cats, they create diets from animal food sources, berries, and other highly digestible ingredients with low magnesium and ash levels. This ensures overall well being, vitality, and urinary tract health. For dogs, they create balanced diets similar to high quality human diets - a healthy blend of meats, vegetables, and grains.
For special diets, such as weight management diets for dogs, or hairball diets for cats, they add carefully selected ingredients such as nutrient-rich fibers. They never use "fillers" and always look for additional ingredient benefits such as higher levels of vitamins and minerals that are available in some fiber sources.

Who Should Eat CORE:
The nutrient levels of this food are appropriate for adult dogs over 1 year. We do not recommend feeding this formula to puppies as they have special nutritional requirements during their growth stage. Please try our Wellness Puppy Food to meet these unique needs.
How to Feed CORE:
CORE is highly palatable, so your dog may tend to eat more of this food.
Watch initially to see if you need to adjust regular eating patterns. Please give your dog access to clean, cool fresh water at all times.
It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes awhile for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness CORE each day, so that you are feeding 100% new food by day 7.

MY SHIPOO DIDN'T LIKE THIS FOOD THAT MUCH. WHEN I PUT THE WELLNESS FISH WET FOOD ON TOP WOULDN'T HARDLY TOUCH IT. BUT THE CAT LOVED IT. I THINK HE JUST DOESN'T LIKE FISH. BUT WHEN I PUT DUCK,CHICKEN OR ANY OTHER WET FOOD BY WELLNESS OTHER THAN FISH HE EATS IT. HE WILL EAT IT BY ITSELF OK BUT KINDA PICKS AT UNTIL HE KNOWS HE NOT GETTING SOMETHING ELSE. SO MAKE SURE YOU DOG LIKES FISH BEFORE YOU BUY THIS. IT PROBABLY IS A GOOD DOG FOOD FOR DOGS WHO LIKE FISH AND IS NOT PICKY.HE PREFERS THE SMALL BREED FORMULA BY WELLNESS ALOT MORE THAN THIS -WHICH IS A LOT CHEAPER THAN THIS.

My toy poodle just does not like this, and he is not a very fussy eater. So, have to rate it low.
2. Susan on 9/22/2009, said:
My dog ate this food but was not really crazy about it. It probably is because she is very picky. There is probably nothing wrong with the food. I didn't really know how to rate it. It could be that she just doesn't care for fish.

I mix this with the dry Wellness Core about once a week as a treat for my dogs!
