When to feed CORE:
Perfect for everyday feeding, mixing with raw, supplementing raw or replacing raw while traveling.
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.
Recommended Feeding Portions (based on a standard 8 oz. dry measuring cup)

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 dogs really love this food at first but then they started to scratch and chew their feet. So I had to stop and they did seem to get better. Too bad because they really like eating it. SF

I'm sure this is not a bad meal. My dog did not like the taste or smell. He likes the Wellness Core Original.

I have been using this product for 2 years on one of my dogs and it has done amazing things for her coat and her stomach. She had an upset stomach with all the other foods I tried. Could do without the fish breath though. :)
