Anyone know anything about the dog food wellness? I've heard it's good for dogs with soft stools

diggy4 · 08-09-2007, 08:05 PM

I tried Wellness, they sent samples to Diggy at first he ate it but became bored with it fast, as you know I mix Canidea, Chicken Soup, and Innova Evo. Taste wise Diggy definately prefers Evo over all, but is VERY high in Protein. I read hwere u are going to try Pumpkin in their food, good idea! Other things you can try, Bananas. I know Meijer carried dried bananas in the Toddler section, I thinkits actually bananas and strawberries mixed but they are an easy snack and perfect bite size for our little ones. Diggy and Bella get them a lot! Poor Boston, I hope his poo gets better soon!

Paula, even when you're serious, you make me laugh! "hope his poo gets better soon?" You are so sweet girl.

Tara, I too hope his poo is better soon.

Gizmo is on Innova Puppy, and he really likes it with no poo problems (except for a one day reaction to baby shots).

The Wellness Simple Solutions foods are specifically for dogs w/ digestive problems and/or allergies - you might check those out. They have a single protein and a single carb - so they're less "rich" and less likely to cause food related issues.

Whenever I am thinking of switching foods, I go to the website and ask for samples. I just did this, in fact. Conner was on Merrick and did not really like it. I got samples from Wellness and Canidae. I was glad that I got the samples because the Wellness was a little large. Conner likes small kibbles. He loved the Canidae.
