FAQs

Is this food suitable for large breed puppies?

No, this specific Wellness CORE formula is designed for adult large breed dogs. Puppies have different nutritional needs, so a puppy-specific formula is recommended.

How much should I feed my large breed dog daily?

Feeding guidelines are provided on the packaging and vary based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. Always start with the recommended amount and adjust as needed to maintain optimal body condition.

What are the benefits of a grain-free diet for large dogs?

A grain-free diet may be beneficial for dogs with grain sensitivities, potentially reducing digestive issues like bloating or gas. It focuses on protein and complex carbohydrates from vegetables.

Will this food help with my dog's joint pain?

This food contains glucosamine and chondroitin, which are known to support joint health and mobility. While it can help, it is not a medication. For specific joint pain or conditions, always consult your veterinarian.

Can I mix this with other Wellness CORE formulas?

Yes, you can mix different Wellness CORE formulas. However, always monitor your dog's reaction and adjust portion sizes to ensure they are receiving a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight.

Troubleshooting

My dog is experiencing digestive upset (diarrhea/vomiting) after switching.

Ensure you followed the recommended gradual transition period over 5-7 days. If the issue persists or is severe, revert to the old food temporarily and consult your veterinarian.

My dog seems less energetic or is gaining/losing weight.

Review the feeding guidelines on the package, adjusting portion sizes based on your dog's exact weight, age, activity level, and body condition. Consult your veterinarian to rule out underlying health issues.

My dog is not interested in eating the new food.

Try mixing a small amount of warm water with the kibble to enhance the aroma, or gradually reintroduce the food with a longer transition period, mixing it with a higher percentage of their old food.

The kibble seems too large for my dog to comfortably eat.

While formulated for large breeds, some dogs may have smaller mouths or prefer smaller kibble. If chewing is a persistent issue, consider wetting the kibble slightly to soften it or consult with your vet about alternatives.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Muscle Health: High meat protein from fresh chicken supports strong, lean muscles.
Digestive Health: Grain-free formulation can be beneficial for sensitive stomachs.
Joint Support: Glucosamine and chondroitin help maintain healthy joints.
Weight Management: Lower carbohydrates promote a lean body condition.
Nutrient-Dense: Packed with wholesome vegetables and superfoods, free from fillers.
Optimal Energy: Supports sustained energy levels suitable for active large breeds.

Cons

Breed Specificity: Formulated specifically for large breeds, may not be ideal for small or medium breeds without veterinary consultation.
Dietary Transition Required: As with any new food, a gradual transition is necessary to prevent digestive upset.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

When introducing Wellness CORE Core Complete Dry Dog Food, a gradual transition over 5-7 days is recommended to prevent digestive upset.

Days 1-2: Mix 25% new food with 75% old food.
Days 3-4: Mix 50% new food with 50% old food.
Days 5-6: Mix 75% new food with 25% old food.
Day 7 Onward: Feed 100% new food.

Ensure fresh water is always available.

Compatibility

This formulation is specifically designed for adult large breed dogs. Due to its nutrient profile and density, it is best suited for dogs that weigh over approximately 25kg (55 lbs) as adults. Consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about feeding this to dogs with specific health conditions or if transitioning a dog of a different size.

Care

Storage: Store the food in its original bag, or transfer to an airtight container. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and pests.
Shelf Life: Refer to the 'Best By' date printed on the packaging for optimal freshness.
Handling: Wash hands thoroughly after handling pet food. Keep out of reach of children and pets when not in use.
