| Wellness Food Does anyone use the Wellness brand dog food? I need to switch Simon's food (thus hallie's too) and was reading about it. He has a sensitive tummy and is itching a lot lately. Any suggestions? |

| I bought a big bag for my Smooth Fox Terrier because I had heard it was loaded with good ingredients, and that her coat would shine much more so. Well, she hasn't liked it at all, but General Patton sees that Bella has her own bowl, and has nibbled two of the bites and seems to like it. Of course, he can't as this is not puppy food. ~Bella, General Patton, & Maria~ |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | I have never heard anything about Wellness but Magic has a very sensitive stomach and both girls were very itchy, and we switched them to Nutro Lamb and Rick formula and both girls are doing great on it...they scratch less and Magic has not had any problems with it!!!

| I feed Peaches the Wellnes puppy dry food. I bought it for her because of the list of good "human grade" ingredients. She eats it, but only when she is hungry. I can tell she doesnt really like it.... |

| I got a sample bag of Wellness dry puppy food but Jo didn't like it at all. I even tried it as a treat but he didn't like the texture. He loves the Wellness canned Chicken and Sweet Potato puppy food so he gets that a couple times a day over a few pieces of Innova dry puppy food. |

| Try Natural Balance. I switched Chewy from Royal canin because he was itchy and flaky with a little constipation. Since he has been on NB he has been doing great and he seems to like the taste. I also feed the meat roll to him a couple of times per week and it is convenient because any PETCO carries it. |

| Here is a silly question and I could search for it but truth be told I'm too lazy right now. Are Nutro and Natural Balance the same thing/brand? |

| Great My love it. Mia has a very sensitive stomach and the only food she tolerates is Wellness. I give her the Wellness Canned Dog Food Puppy Formula (contains quality natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals such as Deboned Chicken, Salmon, Sweet Potato, Pears, Bananas, and Flaxseed) three times a day and leave out some dry food as well. Sometimes she get into Pierce food and I give him the Wellness chicken, turkey and duck. They don't like the fish or lamb , especially Mia will throw up.

| Gucci had itchy and flaky skin. I changed her food to Natural Balance dry food and the beef meat rolls. So far so good. The pet store gave me some samples of solid gold and wellness but Gucci wouldn't eat it. Gucci was on Nutro Max and she was itching a lot. |

| TJ and Roxy are on Eukanuba. They are itching like crazy! I looked at their skin and they definatley have some dry and flaky skin. I think I will get the Natural Balance today and see how that works. I'd rather them eat something better than Eukanuba anyway! |

| My Coco used to itch a lot and had a sensitive tummy. Then I switched her to Innova and it's great. Her poo is perfect consistency and no more itching or sensitive tummies.

| So what do you suggest? TJ and Roxy seem to have sensitive tummies as well as itchy skin (I think from the Eukanuba). Innova, Natural Balance or California Balance? |
