| wellness help! Ok so I switched my puppy from Royal Canin which she was itching real bad on also I heard it is not that good. I switched her to wellness just for puppy the kibbles are too big! So I call Wellness they told me for a yorkie I should feed her Wellness small breed formula that came out a few weeks ago. Has anyone tried this or which wellness were you feeding your dogs? This is like th 4th bag of dog food I have had to return cause I keep getting the wrong ones. Is wellness good? |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Yes wellness is a good food, but I agree the kibble was bigger. I never fed the small breed variety though.

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | I dealt with allergies too. I have mine on Wellness Simple Soulutions. With food allergies I was told go to a simple protein source food. Not chicken and beef mixed etc.. I have mine on Venison and Potato. Working very well so far. Also limit treast to a single protien source too. Like I use ONLY Venison Jerky treats also by wellness. The least amounts of ingredients the less of a chance of reacting if that makes sense. And ALWAYS try and go grain free. Here is what i use Wellness Simple soultions Venison Wellness Jerky Treats Wellness canned Venison and sweet potato. ALL the same single protein source. All ingreds. are on their site if you wanna read about them. I too have tried many many food this one is FINALLY working. Good luck!

| I have no personal experience, but if I feed Wellness, I would feed canned or Core |

| At Petco the only Wellness they have is the Super 5 mix so is this the one you feed your babies or this commercial only? Also, what's the comparison of this to Natural Balance fish and potato? The closest Petco we have is 30 miles away and since I have an appointment there anyway (Dr. not Petco) and with gas prices want to make to make the most of it. Thanks guys.

| We feed Chewy the Super 5 Mix for Puppies. He seems to like it and is doing well on it. Poops twice a day and always firm. I like that it is corn and grain free.

| Thanks but I need to get the adult as mine is 9 months. Royal Canine has one for Yorkies and it's soft kibble. I was always under the impression that hard kibble was better for a lot of things including their anal gland.

| I like Welliness. I buy the canned and the grain free. I leave the kibble out all the time. I haven't been able to find the small bites either. |

| The Just for Puppies kibble is TINY! It's so weird to me that you think it's large. We just switched Franklin off the JfP and onto Core. Now both of my babies are on Core. We love it! Now THAT kibble is HUGE... but they have no problem with it.

| I know of a girl who CUTS THE KIBBLE BY HALF WITH SCISSORS UNTIL HER HANDS ARE ALL SWOLLEN. She fed Orijen to her Poms. I don't know why she does that. Mocha eats her Orijen just fine. She was afraid of choking I guess. In the end she switched to Acana.
