In side by side comparison, it almost looks like Wellness is better! It adds more vitamins to the diet, but if your pup is eating a good quality food, they are probably getting the vitamins they need.

I would love to see a pup nutrition expert comment on this. Read the ingredients carefully to ensure your pup doesn't have any allergies to any of them, but in reading this, I would not feel bad about giving my dog the Wellness. And you got a great deal on it, too!
