I adopted an adult German Shepherd 9 years ago who had horrible fur, skin, and digestive issues. After trying several different kinds of food, none of which helped the skin issues, and all made the digestive issues worse (even with slow switching over a month), Wellness CORE turkey was the ONLY thing he could eat and he loved it. His fur became softer and thicker and his skin issues went away.We also have a Border Collie adopted when she was 7 months old, and she started out on Wellness puppy until she was ~12mo, then switched to Wellness CORE turkey for the last 7 years. Her fur is super silky, and looks so healthy people typically comment.When feeding a large dog, this is more economical than it seems (see calories per cup and calculations below). I didn't have to feed him as much at a time compared to cheaper grain filled kibble, which seemed to also help the stomach issues he was plagued with.CALORIC INFORMATIONPer the Wellness CORE website: 421 calories per cupHOW TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH KIBBLE YOUR DOG NEEDS w/ NEW KIBBLE (a general guide)Caloric calculations seem to vary, but the Ohio State University School of Vet Medicine recommends the following as a starting point (google for original source). I'll use my Border Collie as an example:My Border Collie is 30lb, 8 years old and spayed.Weight must be in killograms, so divide her weight in pounds by 2.2: 30lb / 2.2 = 13.636 kgWe then plug her weight into their formula for her resting energy needs (how many calories she needs w/o activity):(70*13.636)^0.75 = 496.6 caloriesThen we need to multiply by the appropriate activity factor to get her daily energy needs (google the website for the full table of activity factors)496.6 x 1.6 (her factor for a fixed adult) = 794.5 calories / dayNow I take the calories per cup (8 oz per cup per the website) and divide by 8 to get the calories per oz421 / 8 = 52.6 calories per oz kibbleTotal calories per day (794.5) / Calories per oz (52.6) = 15.1 oz / day or slightly under two cupsThis is the starting point for how much I would feed her per day. I'd also monitor her weight and adjust if she's losing or gaining to find the amount of kibble per day to maintain a healthy weight at her activity level. Because she's getting older, I actually feed her a little less than this and an activity factor of 1.5 or 1.4 might be more appropriate as she's not as "BC crazy" as she was when she was younger.TIPS ON SWITCHING FOODWhen switching kibble make sure it's a slow transition to minimize any GI distress they might experience from a sudden diet change. Depending on tolerance, I typically decrease the old kibble by 10-20% and add in the new kibble to maintain about the same amount of food per day. Changing the percentage every other day, depending on tolerance, until they are eating nothing but the new kibble.

I buy this for my dog and he loves it!!

My dog has been eating Wellness Core for years. It’s a premium dog food with quality ingredients. My only problem is that the bag came today with a machine cut in the bag. Obviously happened before t was packed in the shipping box. No returns or refunds allowed. For that reason I’ll order elsewhere in the future.

Speedy delivery. I am trying this food since it does not have grains as it's top ingredient. My dog was previously on Royal Canin, which a friend recommended, but after looking at the ingredients list, I had to rethink my decision. So far, I am gradually mixing the old and the new together, and he seems to like it. He is a very fussy dog and will not eat most treats, and dog foods. His diet is also supplemented with chicken, tuna, salmon, and beef. So far, he has liked this food.

My dog prefers this over every other food available to her, I mixed it with the old food for the transition and she has been picking out the wellness core bits. I don't really like the shape of the food bits, they look painful to eat.. they are pyramids. I also feel that the food bits may be too big for my dog, she is a miniature dachshund. I bought a smaller bag for her to test it out, next time I think I will try the small breed mix.

Im sure the dog food is probably as good as it gets, but my dogs are not crazy about it.

Arrived promptly and as expected. Sadly I was unable to use it due to my dog being allergic! I was really hoping it would be allergy safe.

My dog had no problem finishing this
