| Wellness for Puppies Is Wellness for Puppies good for my baby? I keep getting mixed reviews while researching on line... For the most part people say great things, but there are some reviews that worry me. Is there anyone who feeds their puppies this food? |

| This is what I fed Bailey until about a month ago when I switched to Wellness Small Breed. I never had any problems with it at all.

| Ok, great, thanks. Someone suggested it to help her with her greasy head; and I also read it should help with her paw licking, itchiness, and sudden bursts of energy. She gets so scary sometimes when she jumps on me in bed, I started calling her Bat Girl, lol. |

| I start my puppies on Wellness Puppy, when they go to there new families I suggest feeding the same. My adults eat Wellness Small Breed. I have no adverse issues with Wellness.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I fed Wellness puppy food. It was the 3rd food I tried & it agreed with her real well. Now she's older and on Wellness small breed food. She's doing very well on it. Never any issues. Itchiness can be due to not rinsing thoroughly enough when you bath her. There are other causes, but that's one of them. An oatmeal based shampoo/conditioner can be helpful with itchiness too. Bursts of energy... Honey, welcome to the 'zoomies'!!! lol! This is very normal behavior. Don't worry about it, sit back & enjoy it. You're not likely to catch her during one of these spells, so just enjoy! A few mornings ago, just as I was waking up, Roxy jumped onto my feet, ran up the entire length of my body to my head, flipped around, ran down to my feet, down off the bed and out of the room. I guess she was telling me to get up. lol! Now if I could only program her... I'm a very sound sleeper & don't hear alarms. : )

| We used to feed Wellness Puppy and they both did well on it. We switched to Acana, but not because of anything negative about Wellness. |

If you switch over to Wellness can you let me know how your little guy does on it! It's one of 4 brands I'm considering to switching over to or trying (even though my girl is on a very good kibble now). The only negative thing I heard was that some dogs on Wellness have very loose-smoochy poops and go often and they are real stinky! Specifically on the Wellness Super5Mix Small Breed. The other 3 brands I'm considering which I heard/read excellent reviews on for the real small ones are: Innova, Merrick and Artemis. | |

| Well, I suppose it is nice to think a dog food might keep a puppy from jumping all over you in bed, but I don't think that's going to happen. This is just a puppy thing. Eventually, she will outgrow it! Kacee used to jump on me in bed, too. Heck! She would get back and jump like a kangaroo onto me! I think you'll like the Wellness for other reasons, though. Glad she's feeling better these days.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I would NEVER use Wellness. Any food that has been recalled is on my NO NO list. Bones have been found in that food up to 1/4 inch long. I have chosen Lifes Abundance. It was formulated by a vet, and she is actually available to us every week over the phone if we should have questions. It has never been recalled! It is holistic and contains all the best nutrients to make your dog thrive! They make food every week so when it is delivered at your door (so convenient), you are guaranteed the freshest food. Commercial dog food might be a year old before it is served to your dog or cat. I am a full time pet sitter and I recommend this food to my clients as well as everyone I meet. I have seen dogs that had skin problems, bowel problems and poor eating habits totally change after starting on this food. It comes from a company I can trust! I will never feed my dogs anything but Lifes Abundance. Here is their You Tube channel. The videos are alarming! YouTube - TrilogyIntl's Channel If you decide you want to try it, go to www.healthyhappypets.biz Request a free sample or place an order. Or PM me. |
