| Food question Hi all, The breeder I got my puppy from had them on Blue Buffalo puppy food. I bought a bag of this when I brought her home. As the bag is getting low I decided to change her over to the food I plan to keep her on. I chose to go with the new Wellness super5mix puppy for small breeds as this food was developed with small breeds such as the yorkie in mind. Does anyone have any experience with this food or have any comments positive or negative. I tried to research the food but kinda became overwelmed with choices. Probably not too much first hand experience out there with it as the food has only been out a few months but would like any input someone might like to offer. Thanks, Harry |

| I am on the Wellness Super5 mix adult for my two yorkies..Levi my male is 7 years old and Lily my female is 1.5 years old. Both do very well on this food. My vet recommended this food to us...she uses it herself.

| I fed this food, canned version, to my dog Barney and it landed him in the hospital with pancreatitis. I don't like the company.

| I feed my two the adult small breed, they do fine on it. But I think my yorkie is tired of it so I mix the kibble with anther premium kibble.

| Mine are on the small breed version and doing wonderful. I've fed this for awhile now. I do not recommend the canned as we had trouble with it as well. I bought the treats last year and I had to rush my babies to the vet for food poisoning.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | This company makes me nervous. I have used the canned in the past but quit a long time ago. I have read too many stories of strange things in their food... cobwebs, maggots... I just decided to stay away from it.

| Thanks to all who have offered input. I read a lot of good things about the food prior to buying it. I am only talking about the dry kibble. Those of you feeding the dry that responded seemed positive which is a relief. I will avoid the caned version after reading these posts. Thanks all. Harry |

| I've personally never used Wellness with Sasha, but I know a lot of people feed it with great results and it does seem like a really good food. |
