FAQs

Is this food suitable for puppies?

No, this formula is specifically designed for adult medium and large breed dogs. Puppies have different nutritional needs for growth and development.

Is this product truly grain-free?

Yes, Wellness CORE Complete Dry Dog Food is a grain-free formula, making it suitable for dogs with grain sensitivities or allergies.

What are the primary protein sources in this food?

The main protein sources are fresh salmon and tuna, providing a rich, high-quality animal protein.

How does this food benefit my dog's skin and coat?

It contains omega-3 fatty acids, primarily from salmon and tuna, which are crucial for maintaining healthy skin and a shiny, lustrous coat.

My dog is a small breed adult. Can they eat this?

While not harmful, this formula is optimized for the nutritional and kibble size needs of medium and large breeds. Small breed-specific formulas are usually recommended for optimal nutrition.

How should I store this dog food to keep it fresh?

Store the food in its original bag or an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is sealed properly after each use.

Troubleshooting

My dog isn't eating the new food.

Ensure you are transitioning gradually over 5-7 days. Some dogs are finicky; try hand-feeding a few pieces or mixing a small amount of warm water (not hot) to enhance aroma. If refusal persists, consult your vet.

My dog is experiencing digestive upset (diarrhea, vomiting).

Digestive upset is often due to too rapid a food transition. Revert to a higher percentage of the old food and slowly increase the new food over a longer period (10-14 days). If symptoms continue, reduce portion sizes or contact your veterinarian.

My dog's coat isn't improving.

While rich in Omega-3s, visible improvements in coat health can take several weeks. Ensure your dog is receiving the correct portion size and check for any underlying health issues with your vet.

My dog seems to have an allergic reaction.

If you suspect an allergy (e.g., itching, skin irritation, excessive licking), discontinue use and consult your veterinarian immediately. While grain-free, some dogs may still be sensitive to specific protein sources like salmon or tuna.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Feeding Guidelines

Transition Gradually: When introducing this new food, gradually mix it with your dog's current food over 5-7 days. Start with a small amount of Wellness CORE food and slowly increase the proportion each day until your dog is eating 100% Wellness CORE. This helps prevent digestive upset.

Fresh Water: Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean water at all times.

Compatibility

Target Audience: This food is specifically formulated for adult medium and large breed dogs. Its nutritional profile and kibble size are optimized for their unique needs.
Not Recommended For: Puppies, small breed adult dogs, or pregnant/lactating females, as their nutritional requirements differ significantly.

Care and Storage

Storage: Store the food in its original bag or an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and pests.
Freshness: Close the bag securely after each use to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. For best results, use within the 'best by' date printed on the package.
Hygiene: Always wash your hands after handling pet food.
