Any thoughts on Wellness Core dog food?

Question

I'm currently feeding my 60lb lab mix wellness super5 mix, looking to switch to a higher protein diet as our lifestyles are becoming much more active and I'm beginning to see the merit of a grain-free diet. I'm considering Wellness Core for the obvious reason of it being made by the same brand. I have not heard many opinions or reviews about it though, versus some brands - seems there is much more publicity about Blue Wilderness, Acana/Orijen, TOTW, etc. Does anyone have any experience with Wellness Core, or have any opinions about it they would like to share? Thanks!

Answer 1

Wellness core is a good food. When food shopping, remember that grain free does not automatically mean better, or the right food for your dog. Grain free means only that the food lacks grain. That's it. Some grain free foods are all potato with very little meat, which is not healthy. Some foods that contain grain are mostly meat with a small amount of carbs from grain, which is a healthy choice. So read labels carefully and don't buy into hype.



The Wellness Core Original is actually a fantastic food for a working dog. Higher protein (34%), and higher fat (16%), but still enough carbs to sustain energy (approx. 25-30%). Too low of carbs for a working dog can cause a dangerous drop in bloodsugar. Food needs to be balanced based on the needs of the dog.

I recently switched my dogs food and prior to this I did TONS of research. I went with California Naturals because my dog needs the limited ingredients, but I have read tons of great things about Wellness Core. I know TOTW is made in the diamond facilities, and after all of the recent recalls I would be hesitant. I've heard a lot about Blue Wilderness causing problems in dogs, they have such high levels of vitamins some dogs can't handle it and OD on the vitamins, this can actually (rarely) be fatal. If I were you, I would go with wellness core. Try this site, dogfoodadvisor.com , this is where I found the most accurate information. the comments under the food types were the most helpful for me, and the people on there are generally very knowledgeable and helpful.

Answer 4

I think it's a great food. I was the same as you, I was feeding Wellness Super5Mix and wanted to switch. My reason was that my dogs didn't really like it, though. My older dog started refusing to eat unless I put water in with the kibble, then I adopted my new dog and he didn't like it at all and refused to eat. So, I got a whole bunch of free samples of foods for them to try, and went with the one they liked more than any other--Natural Balance Alpha (grain free). EVO was in a close second. They also liked Wellness Core, Nature's Variety Instinct, and Orijen as well. So, since they liked the Core and refused to eat Super5Mix period, I can say that Core definitely tastes better.



They've been on Natural Balance Alpha for a few months, but I'm still considering putting them on Wellness Core in the future. Core is a great food, and I was very happy with the company of Wellness. I'm also not completely satisfied with he Alpha, they're pooping more, which must mean that it has more fillers than the Wellness did, which isn't great. But they love the taste, and I really like that they love this one enough that I can use it as treats for training.
