Has Anyone Heard Of This Dog Food?

I used to feed Hannah wellness but I changed to canidae and she likes it alot better.

chewey's mom · 03-16-2007, 07:23 PM

I kind of thought this food was a little boring

TootiesMom · 03-16-2007, 07:26 PM

my finicky eater wouldnt eat it....

Oscar's Mom · 03-16-2007, 07:28 PM

Oscar eats the Fish & Sweet Potato and he loves it...he had a sore that he had for over a year...vet called it a chronic sore...put him on Wellness and the sore is gone...for months now...gone. I highly recommend it.

I'll keep him on it! THANX

It's a good high quality food...I have heard of a lot of people whose dogs have done really well on wellness. The only complaint I've heard really is that some of the more finicky eaters don't like it as much.

And you know, that is the crazy thing! Oscar is SO finicky! He was on Royal Canin and I tried Innova and several other GOOD foods...he would not touch them. I got the Wellness and he loves it...and I swear, it cleared that sore right up...I am thinking he was allergic to corn or something in the Royal Canin. Now I will say, the Fish and Sweet Potato does not smell really great...just like fish really, but he loves it and he is healthy again so I am happy!!! I free feed Oscar and he has one poopy a day, so there is not a lot of waste in this food!

I agree! I have been feeding it to my Chewey for a week and his coat looks healthier! I just ordered the cranberry fields shampoo and conditioner!

That's wonderful Oscar's mom

I agree that Wellness is an awesome food, and I'm glad you found something that your furbaby loves, and it's really, really good for him

I haven't tried it for my furbaby, but we just started her on the Merricks Grammy's Pot pie which is another high quality food, and so far so good! I had considered Wellness, but she is so picky that I thought she wouldn't like it even though it would be good for her. Now that I hear that your baby is finicky, and he likes it, that's cool. If the Merricks doesn't work out, I'll try the Wellness, thanks!

I hear that the Merrick's Grammy's Pot Pie is really good! It is all about finding a food that your yorkie loves and that is in turn good for your yorkie. They can really be picky little snots but we love em so much, we will go that extra mile to find out what works. I had three vets tell me Oscar needed surgery to "remove" the sore from his neck! I refused to let them do it and come to find out, the food change did the trick! They never mentioned that it could be a food allergy! Premium food is pricier, but there is nothing that compares to a healthy, happy yorkie! Oh and one other thing...the Royal Canin I was feeding Oscar was a really small bite...he never chewed his food. He swallowed it whole. A lot of times he would throw up and it was just unchewed kibble! The Wellness is a larger kibble and he HAS to chew it...that is an added bonus for his pretty little teeth! I also make Oscar's treats so I know what is in them. Wellness also makes treats, but he can take them or leave them...not real crazy about those.

That's so wonderful that the sore went away with the right diet

You were a good mommy by trying to eliminate anything that could be causing it, and you made him better! Good job, and now your baby is healthy and happy

Where do you buy the Wellness? I haven't seen it around here.

Mine quit eating the Innova so I switched to Nutro. Now they are sick, I've seen the recall & I'm searching for a new food. I plan to buy the Innova on Monday when the feed store is open, but would like to try the Wellness, also.
