| wellness I just switched my girls from Canidae to Wellness. I liked Canidae well enough but it made Bella poop 2 or 3 times a day! So I'm hoping wellness will be better for her. Any suggestions on which kind to buy? Bella weighs 15 pounds and my lab Bridget is 80, both could stand to lose a bit of weight. (Bridget more so than Bella) so I did buy the healthy weight this time. They both gobbled it right down (I mixed it with their remaining Canidae) and I haven't seen them eat like that for awhile.

| I did the same thing also. My dogs were eating Canidae and they loved it so much they started gaining large amounts of weight and they had lots of pooh. I switched over to Wellness Healthy Weight per the advice of my vet. It is a "diet" food and is low on protein and fat. They will only be on it until we can get their weight under control and then we will add regular Wellness mixed in until it is gone. The pooh has decreased to a more normal amount if that makes sense. |

| Wellness puppy I have just changed our puppy (6 months) to wellness.. I checked the home site for this brand and was feeling good about their claims. But..... she just was spayed on Thursday Aug 7th and since we have been home is not showing any interest in her food. Is this just because of the surgery? Mandy also had to have a dew claw removed, and was micro chipped and had two baby teeth removed. She will take treats without a problem but will not go near the wellness food. I did what the vet suggested, put a little water in the dry to soften it, also tried just dry but to no avail!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, Cheryl |

| I switched Conner to Wellness Weight Management because of the lower protein when he was having liver issues. His issues have since cleared up, but I kept him on the weight management because of the lower protein and the joint support that it offers. He gets a bit of chicken everyday also.

| We love Wellness. I switched Scooter to it a few months ago because his skin was dry and his coat became wirey. The switch did wonders so I only have positive things to say about Wellness. Weight is not an issue with Scooter so I give him the adult Super5Max Lamb dry. We were on the puppy food but he is now past that. Depending on where you buy your dog food, most places will let you bring a bag of food back if your dog absolutely hates it. I have never had that issue with Scooter but it is a nice back-up. Scooter likes both Lamb and Chicken formulas. What flavor treats does your baby like? If you pick a flavor similar to their favorite treat, it is almost a sure bet they will love it. Good luck and enjoy Wellness!!
