I have two large dogs, one a yellow lab, and the other a lab/dalmation mix. Both of these were on prescription foods(not the same, so quite costly), one had been treated for bladder stones, the other had pancreatitis. I tried Wellness and they have both never looked so good,and been so healthy. No recurring health problems which were a constant worry, and the best part they know can eat the same mix.

Pet guardians, please take the time to educate yourselves on what goes into your pet's food. That initiative will give them the gift of a longer, healthier life, eliminate many chronic health issues that pets face, save you money in vet bills in the long run... the list of benefits goes on and on.

I have done extensive research on canine and feline nutrition and I highly recommend, if you are going to feed commercial food, Welless, California Naturals or Innova. For a great complete meal, I give my dogs all one of those dry foods mixed with a little bit of canned from the same brands, water for hydration, a touch of a good quality essential oil (such as olive, flax, etc.), a touch of powdered kelp and alfalfa, a splash of organic apple cider vinegar, Prozyme digestive enzymes to unlock the nutrients in all that good food and top with a dollop of plain yogurt. It sounds like a lot, but it takes me less than 5 minutes to assemble the meals for 6 dogs - and they are ridiculously healthy an full of energy, even our 3 seniors who are 11, 12 and 13. I have two seniors with heart murmurs and at our most recent vet check, my dog with the worst heart murmur, a 12 year old beagle that I love desperately, had a 2-grade improvement in condition severity - that is HUGE. Good nutrition makes all the difference!

My dogs had bad skin problems (itchy, flaky, reddness). Vet wanted to put them on steroids. Talked with my on-line buddies and they recommended Wellness. Best decision we've ever made. Vet is amazed with results of just changing dog food.

I have three dogs, a minpin, a lab, and an aussie pup. My min-pin got sick recently. It was pancreatitis and kidney problems. His liver was a mess too. After he got out of the vet hospital (800 bucks later) they wanted him to eat a prescription food that they sold. He hated it. Would NOT eat it.

I got the Wellness through a reccomendation and it has been a life-saver. My minpin is healthy now. His liver is fine, as are his kidneys and pancreas. He looks years younger with his shiny coat. My lab and my pup are looking fabulous as well.

Whats ironic is that I WAS feeding a supermarket wet food and it was costing me 90 bucks a month to feed these guys. Now, it's cheaper, they are healthier and they LOVE it. I have never seen dogs freak over dry food like they do over this.

If you can afford it, I highly recommend this product. It saves you money in the long run and makes your pets happy and healthy.

We adopted a mix breed that was approx 1 year old. His coat was coarse, dry and skin was flaky. He was licking his feet and shaking his head. Tried several brands and found that duck and lamb make him extremely gassy with a really rude odor. He loves the fish and sweet potato, his coat is like velvet now in just a couple short months. No more shedding or flaking and NO RUDE ODOROUS GAS problem. Highly recommend.

My black German Shepherd has allergies to corn & wheat, which seems to be the primary ingredients in most dog foods. We suffered with her for years, cooking chicken, hamburger, rice to keep her healthy until we found the WELLNESS products. They have turned her into a beautiful, not scratching or licking youthful dog. We are also now feeding our lab and corgi the same foods with similar results. Thank You Wellness! (Incidentally the foods sold by the vet as hypo-allergenic had either corn syrup &/or wheat germ in it. We read all labels now, all the way thru the fine print!) Another added benefit for the larger dogs is the incorporation of glucosamine & chondroitin into it, saving additional vet bills.

I was concerned about the effect "regular" dog food was having on our dogs. We have one puppy and one senior, so both are in crucial stages. The puppy had bad dandruff and dull, course hair while the senior had various issues throughout his life including seizures and IBD. I decided to try a home cooked diet for them but after the pup developed an allergy I was scared to try anything else on my own. We decided to try Wellness after some research on the natural brands (not to mention a taste test with samples from Pet People).

This food has done WONDERS. The pup no longer has dandruff and his coat is shiny and silky. His energy level is also through the roof. Our older dog has always been a veeery picky eater, sometimes going a couple days in between meals if it wasn't appetizing enough for him, but he loves the Wellness food and even eats it dry! No canned mix-ins necessary! Since he started eating it we haven't seen any IBD symptoms and he's acting a lot younger.

I wholeheartedly recommend this food, or at least another brand of natural food. I encourage you to compare the ingredients in Wellness to regular food as even "high-end" grocer brands (like Science Diet) contain the same junk as the generic ones!

I have used this product for five years now for both of my shelties. They like the taste, there coats are much smoother and it has lessened the number of seizures my female gets and there severity. I will continue to use the fish and sweet potato food regardless of price.
Update:
On Thanksgiving day of 2010 my female sheltie passed away. This broke my heart, she was my best buddy. I can't help but think her Whitefish and Sweet Potato food had something to do with giving her a very long healthy life. She lived to be 17, and was playful up to the end. My vet agrees that this food and good exercise was instrumental in extending both my shelties lives. I now have a new sheltie puppy and a rescued 6yr old sheltie female. Needless to say they are both on Wellness brand Whitefish and Sweet Potato food. There snacks have always been Blue Dog Bakery products supplemented with fresh baby carrots.

This is all I feed my baby. She is a 12 year old Boston Terrior. She has allergies but this is the only food I have found that does not break her out. It is easy to digest and keeps her wieght under control. She likes the taste and it has the great stuff for her skin in it. If your dog is having skin problems I hightly recommend trying this food. It is the BEST!!!

We recently started giving our dog this food and he is thrilled. Our dog has always liked eating, but now he seems especially happy. Even more, our dog seems to have an sensitive tummy and he's had no tummy problems since switching to this food.
