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.

While an excellent food it wasn't much of a hit with the dog.

My dog is a Shitzu and was always a VERY finicky eater until I found Wellness Core - Reduced Fat Dog Food this past year. He loves it and has lost the weight the vet requested.

The dogs enjoy the product. Our older 4 legged daughter enjoys the product year round. Our active 4 legged male is a 'low fat customer' only in the less active winter months.

My dog likes the kibble. Nice to have a reduced fat + grain free option.
Wish there was more than one flavor to pick from.

No allergy problems so far, and we are gradually weaning her off her old food and totally on to Core....wish I could buy locally so I didn't have to pay freight...since she only eats this size bag every 4-5 months, I don't like to buy more to get the free freight.

Our Corgis love this dry food. They have good appetite, firm stools, healthy coats, and we have been able to manage their weight.
