Problem with Welliness Has anyone had a problem with Welliness? I just read where Wellpet bought them and Eagle Pack out. There have been several dogs get sick, one with a perforated stomach that almost died. The owner thought they had just gotten a bad batch of food but turns out they almost lost their dog from the food. I read where a couple of more people have had very sick dogs also from it. Scares me to death. I changed over to Royal Canine and have been also using Inovia. It gets to a point you wonder what all these foods are causing. |
*bump* |
I'm glad I've gone to mostly making everything she eats. Retail dog food scares me. All the horror stories...... |
That is what i feed Oliver and Brooklyn....uggg.....just when i find what i THINK is a good one....:( |
I have had my 2 on wellness and they have been OK. However I decided to change them to California Natural, it is such a simple formula, with the least possibilities of allergies, or problems. The Wellness must have an ingredient in it that does not agree with Zander, 2-3 days after bathing him his hair would start getting very, very oily. I'm thinking it could be the flax seed or cottage cheese, not sure. He has been on Calif Natural in the past and he did not have the oily hair so I am sticking with CN. :aimeeyork Thanks for the thread.:thumbup: |
Greattt! :rolleyes: I just switched to Wellness from Before Grain because the protein levels were semi-high (32%) in B.G. and it worried me. He loves Wellness. I'll have to do more research on this because he seems to do well on it. I just can't make decisions with all these foods and what's best for my baby! I'm not going to take him off Wellness though because he loves it, it's a highly talked about food, I like the ingredients in it... so we'll see. |
Oh my gosh! I feed my babies Wellness Small Bites!! They seem to be doing fine, but when I hear these stories they really scare me! You can never be too safe. By any chance do you have the link to the article??? thanks! |

I have decided to stick with Natura because they make they make their own food at their own plant. I cannot trust companies that have other places make their products!!!! |
bump* Mimi is one small breed Wellness.. I switched from Merrick to this one. Now I feel like changing.. argg |
I have my two kids on wellness...Roman is eating the small breed adult and Mallie's eating their puppy food and they both get wet mixed it. Roman has been eating it for about a year and Mallie just since Saturday, but I've never had a problem. I better not have to change their food becuase I tried so many other premium brands of foods before I found one Roman would eat. Have they recalled anything? Or is it just being investigated at this point? Also do you know if it's the wet or dry and what formula? Thanks for letting us know about this. |
i hope this isnt true cause thats what i feed my baby :( |
Can you please tell me where you read this information? I have searched the web and cant find anything. I am a bit concerned I just put my guys on Wellness last week |
Max has been eatting Wellness Small Breed for 1 1/2 bags -4lb size(not sure how long that has taken but he is only 6.5 pds so it takes him a while to eat a bag). Anyway, I just started switching him over to Innova Small Bites (not EVO-too high protein for me for now) in the green bag. Not because he was having any health issues but because he is a bit bored with the food and I read somewhere that there food is processed or packed at Diamond :(. SOOO...I decided to go back to Natura Products since they do all of their own processing in their own plant. I think they do their own canned now to. I am starting with Innova (in the green bag) and then I will go to CA Natural if that does not workout. Already Max seems to be enjoying the change. He picks the Innova squares out and leaves the Wellness SB triangles on the floor-LOL |
I found this discussion on Google Any Recent Problems With Wellness Dog Food? |
ive been looking all over the web to see if i see anything on this. so far nothing. so i will not do anything till i see that it is true. im just hoping its not true cause misty loves this food :( |

i've been feeding wellness for over 7 years with no problems. My cat has been on it the longest and morgan's been eating it for 2 years on and off (more on). None of my animals have had problems with it. I quickly looked at that discussion posted. That was a German Short Haired Pointer (GSP) i believe. These types of dogs have deep chests and are more likely to bloat and have a stomach torsion then other dogs. All deep chested dogs have this problem. By reading the OPs post of her problem with the GSP i do not believe the food caused that. The dog could have eatten any type of dog food and had the same problem. It is not known why dogs bloat, and torsion usually happens at the same time. I would like to see more proof then this that wellness has changed. |

GOOD GRIEF! Is anything safe to feed our babies????:( Is there a conmpany that has never had "issues" regarding pet health and their food?????? :confused: |
The only thing on Wellness I posted about Wellness long time ago was the little fish bones in the food, thats about it though |
Chase was on Wellness Puppy and he did great on it. The only mildly controversial ingredient I came across is rye flour, which is viewed as a filler. He is currently on Innova Small Breed Adult and loves it. I'm also thinking of tyring Orijen in the future. Thanks for brining it to our attention. You can never have too much information. |
I'm seconding the bloat has nothing to do with the kind of food the dog is eating post. It may have to do with how fast they are eating and other unknown factors but eating a certain type of food would not cause bloat. Some dogs like great danes and dobermans are just more prone to bloat. I'm going to need some more evidence that wellness is bad before i take my dogs off of it. This is just 5 people saying that wellness made their dog sick. Not every food is going to sit well with every dog. Their dogs may have had an allergy to something in the food and that what was made them sick. One poster said she switch from Iams. Wellness is way higher quality and a more rich food than Iams, so the added protein could irritate stomachs also. I may also e-mail wellness tomorrow to see what they say. But let us know if they e-mail you back. |
Let us know what they say. I spent about 1-2 months finding food that Rosie will eat and she finally ate Wellness. I just switched her from Blue Buffalo. She's real picky so I hope the food Wellness is ok. |
Oh man, Meg just finished a trial bag of Wellness "Just for Puppy" and I just ordered a bag. Does anyone know more about this? I can't find any articles either, but the WEllpet website does have Wellness listed as one of their companies... I really thought Wellness was going to be a safe choice. Now what do I do?:confused: |
Please keep me updated on this :( I have my baby Fifi on the puppy Wellness food and I'm so worried now :eek: I hope it's not the food, she loves it:( Thanks to everyone who is updating this thread!!! |
wellness has a Naturally Well pet club on their site. maybe people are getting this confused with something else? http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/talkt...llpet_club.php |
