My boys are on Wellness. I've been feeding it for almost a year now. They were eating the Core Small breed mixed with their canned food but they don't like dry food...so they eat canned Wellness. I buy mostly the "complete" line...but I've also fed Simple and I bought a can of their stew last week and the boys loved it...so I think we will be getting more stew.
On a positive note...My older dog was having major gastrointestinal problems when we started Wellness and I had spent a lot of money at the vets because of it. I had tried all kinds of food and after a little bit, he'd stop eating it...but with the Wellness, he hasn't gotten "that" sick of it yet where he just downright refuses it. On top of that, his stomach issues have improved greatly and have pretty much cleared up. Even when he does have a flare up, it only lasts a day instead of a week like it used to.
A few things I don't like....the canned food has carregan in it and I wish it didn't(I did not know about Carregan when I first started feeding Wellness). I also don't like the fact that the company was sued a few years ago for false advertising(didn't know that either). They claim to be using human grade food when they were supposedly using by-products and parts. I am not sure how the lawsuit turned out, but I feel like at $2.70-$3.00 a can, I am paying good money to feed my pups. I spend about $90.00 a month on their canned food for an 8 lb and 4 lb dog. I feel like for that price, I should be getting GOOD quality ingredients.
I've thought about changing food...I am just afraid to upset the apple cart. Prince has been doing so good on Wellness that I am afraid to change. On top of that, the boys are PICKY!! They get sick of stuff quick. Heck, sometimes they turn their nose up at home cooked meat. I have thought about changing their food....possibly to Weurva...and I've also thought about cooking my own as I know I could probably get away with cooking them high quality organic food for about the same as it's costing me to buy them food. |
