I have a senior chihuahua, and this food has helped his mobility tremendously because of the high amount of glucosamine in this food and the lower fat helps keep his weight down. I have also noticed his fur is more shiny and sheds less. At 15 yrs. old, I will continue this brand of food for his remaining years.

I have a 16 yr. old Mini Poodle who is overweight. She started on this food 6 weeks ago and has lost 2 pounds. She has actually been running around with my other 2 dogs and playing with squeaky toys! The best part is the Wellness is so nutritious and my girl loves it. She is a fussy eater and she cleans her bowl. We have to lose another pound and then I plan to keep her on a maintenance program using the same healthy weight formula. I am quite pleased with this product.
