Pregnant or Nursing Dogs: Since DHA is transferred to puppies in mother’s milk, we recommend feeding this during pregnancy and nursing. When pregnant, feed up to 50% more food according to body weight at 12 mos. For nursing dogs, allow her to eat at will.
Combination Feeding: If feeding with Wellness wet food, reduce dry amount fed by 1/16 cup (7g) for every 2 tablespoons of wet food.
Transition: It is important to slowly transition your pet from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 dayperiod, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness by day 7.

purchased this food after researching for my chihuahuas needs and finding that some ingredients are best to avoid. This brand is rated as 5 stars on dog food advisor as a quality grain free option. My puppies fur has become smoother, his watery eyes (a sign of food allergy) have cleared up and potty time has been cleaner since switching him off the food the breeder had him on. He seems to enjoy this food also as he will eat the full portion in one sitting rather than pick here and there as he did with his previous food. Recommends this product ✔ Yes

My dog Buddy is a very picky eater and has allergic reactions to some foods. He loves his bag of Wellness dog food and it doesn’t mess with his allergies so win win!

Our puppy gobbled his up. Good on the belly!
He didn’t even need a topper with his dry.

I have a small, Jack Russel Shih Tzu who is now 7 months old, she has been on this brand for a little while but has recently become ill. This includes vomit and diarrhea, we brought her to the vet and she was placed on a chicken only diet, until symptoms subsided. We slowly integrated her food back and she began vomiting again. We have since then switched and she has no issues. She often never got excited for meals either, when providing this brand. Often times we would find her food bowl still full.

We attempted to continue the puppy food the breeder used until I read the ingredients of that brand and Wellness Core. Not to mention our chihuahua absolutely loves it. The puppy kibble is small and not difficult for her little puppy teeth. She can’t wait for meal times! Best of all the ingredients are all natural. For a delicious morning meal we combine it with Wellness CORE freeze dried topper. So glad our local petsupplycanada recommended it.

My new puppy eats it …but she goes for the adult dog food. Don’t know if that means she doesn’t like it as well as my other brand ADULT dog food. I’m on the fence. Will try other brand puppy foods

It all looks good quality and healty etc. but no way my puppy (malamut poodle cross) eat this. I”ve tried mixing it with some beef liver, wet food even tuna, she licks the mixed food, and spit the dry food. Not sure what to do.

I’ve tried multiple kibble brands in search of one that my pom would eat. I wanted to get him off of the food that the breeder had him on. This is it! From the first bowl, he scarfed it down! I love the fact that these kibbles are small, he’s able to chew them without any problems. The ingredients are also a huge plus… No chicken by product here!

My 7 pound pomeranian, 1.5 pound yorkie and 3 pound Maltese all love this food. This is the only dry food I feel comfortable feeding my babies. I love it when people ask what I feed them because their coats are full, beautiful and don’t shed (I rarely brush them) The pieces are perfect for tiny teeth and gentle on their tummies.

I have used Wellness dog food for the past 10 years for all my dogs. It is a good healthy dog food and my dog does like it. More expensive than many other dog food and I like that petsupplycanada dies sell with a couple dollars off this particular food.
