| Wellness CORE I just purchased a 4lb bag of Wellness Core on amazon.com since it was $11.99 with free shipping with Amazon Prime. He's eaten samples of it before and seemed to like it, and I've been wanting to find another food to add to the rotation, so we'll see how he likes it. Our local store was out of Orijen Regional Red which is what he seems to love the best and do the best on. So we'll do the CORE until the Orijen is back in stock. Anyone feed or have fed Wellness Core before? I'll let you know how he does on it when it gets here.

| Which flavor did you buy? I am thinking about doing Wellness when we finish our Go!. The fish one is out for us. My guys don't seem to do well on fish.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | We're doing the Wellness Core Reduced Fat - the girls seem to like it, but we've just started so we'll see how it goes.

| It caused a lot more eye goop for Max, but now he eats Wellness Simple Solutions without any problems.

| Wellness Core is the grainfree version, it's the only formula besides the Core Reduced Fat and it's primarily chicken and turkey based it seems. Jackson hates anything fish flavored! LOL. All the other Wellness varieties and flavors are grain inclusive.

| There is also a Core "Ocean" -- which I assume is grain free if it is Core.

they have the Original, Oceanfish, and reduced fat varieties. I have not had good luck with any Wellness products- they seem good on paper but for some reason, nothing kibble, canned, or treats agrees with any of my animals (dogs or cats). They get loose stools and major eye boogers- the cats would give the food back to me hours later if you know what I mean

The regular Wellness gave Jackson eye gunk a while back as a pup... I wasn't sure if Core would be different. I guess we shall see. Thanks for all the comments. I'm probably going to wish I had just stuck to Orijen, lol!

| My Biewer, Dori, came from the breeder feeding Wellness Core. Her stool was always soft. We switched to Origin and she had terrible gas. Finally, we have settled on Wellness small breed super 5 mix. Smaller kibble size and nice firm poops once or twice per day.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Be careful with the regular Wellness Core, they love it, and 2 of mine gained weight on it pretty rapidly. I know mix in 1/2 of the Core Reduced Fat with the Regular Core. It is a very high calorie food, and all 3 of mine seem to love it more than anything else that I have ever fed them. (Merrick, Solid Gold, etc). Baxter is now 15 lbs, and I think he should weigh 13. Darcy is almost 11 lbs, and the vet said she needs to lose 1.5 lbs. |

| I've been curious about the Core kibble too. I use the canned Wellness Core (usually the chicken/turkey one, but we've used the Ocean wet food too) to mix into Levi's Orijen, but we've never tried the dry food. Can't wait to see how Jackson likes it.

| I have the ocean. Uni really didn't like it before her spay, and now I am almost out, she eats them for trick treats. I don't know if I will be buying another bag. I do have another coupon (and if anyone wants me to forward you the coupon pls pm me). I think she did have more eye boogers on the regular core, but she has that problem with all foods we've tried.

| Hi Brit, I feed either Wellness Core (brown bag) turkey/ chicken variety or I feed the Wellness Super 5 Mix small bites. I usually mix in a teaspoon of the Wellness 95% can variety with the kibble, they have done well with both varieties.
