I have 2 GSD & one is a very picky eater. When I switched her to this food, she loved it & I no longer had to sit with her trying to get her to eat. Although over the past few months, there have been little to no freeze dried turkey pieces in these bags of food & I now have to put a topper on her food to get her to eat. I just opened a new bag and again I see no freeze dried turkey pieces. Really disappointed that I have decided to have to write this review. I see several other similar reviews and the product obviously hasn’t gotten better for several months. The food is great for my dogs coat & overall health, but stop advertising something that you’re not giving your customers. Originally posted on wellpet.com

Wanted to try this out as my pup has been eating Wellness Core dry food her entire life. We often mix the different flavors such as the turkey and lamb, but she is a smallish, 13 lb terrier mix and the kibble size of this is larger than the regular Wellness core. A bit disappointing so we won’t purchase this type again simply due to the large size of the kibble Recommends this product ✔ Yes Originally posted on Petsuppliescanada.com

I’m not sure if it’s solely to do with the fact that Petsuppliescanada sent me a bag of food that was past the best before date by 2 years, or if the food is normally like this, but it smells like cardboard. It doesn’t smell like dog food at all. My dog refused to eat it so it made me check the BB date. Gross Recommends this product ✘ No

Our dog is not normal- he could care less about eating or not. I think he likes to hear his stomach growling- the brand of food doesn’t matter- sometimes we have to throw a dried meat treat on top of his full food dish that has been there since yesterday just to get him started- with this food those dried pieces of meat are already included with the kibble- so far (1 month) he is eating like a normal dog! Wife says he has more gas though- I am happy with this Recommends this product ✔ Yes

The kibble is chunky and round. Theres dried bits on meat in the food. I love to mix it with canned Wellness and water. Sometimes i even add fresh meat and veg for the doggos. Recommends this product ✔ Yes Originally posted on Petsuppliescanada.com
