You are what you eat.  We humans have to make those decisions for our animal friend.  In fact, it’s an even bigger deal for them because they eat the same thing almost every day.  That’s why at Wellness®, we have made it our mission for over a decade to provide pet parents with a variety of thoughtful, natural nutritional choices to create a foundation of wellbeing from the inside…out.
We have formulated our entire line of canine nutrition the Wellness Way™ using truly exceptional real food ingredients, each with a purpose, creating special recipes that meet the unique health needs of your dog.
Over the years, we have helped thousands of pets, and the people who love them, discover the difference that choosing Wellness® can make.
 [Kôr] NOUN 1. Most vital or most important part. 2. The essence.
What is Protein-focused Nutrition?   Wellness® CORE® is based on the raw feeding philosophy of providing nutrient-rich, high-quality meat to a dog’s diet.  Each grain-free kibble is packed with protein from deboned turkey and chicken, turkey meal, chicken meal and chicken liver along with a proprietary blend of vegetables, oils, fruits and botanicals that nurture your dog to the core.
Why is CORE® different?  In a word…balance.  When you add more meat to your dog’s daily feeding program, you also add more protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus and calories.  And since daily health requires a delicate nutritional equation, these levels must be managed to create balance, not excess.
Considering your animal’s whole health, we have created CORE® with the animal protein content you’re looking for but without the excess nutrient levels your dog may not need.  CORE® provides incredibly flavorful, protein-focused nutrition the Wellness Way.

SUPPORTING YOUR DOG’S OPTIMAL HEALTH TO THE CORE…

FISH & FLAX OMEGA BLEND: Omega 3 fatty acids from salmon oil and flaxseed help maintain skin and coat health.
LIVING FOOD WITH ACTICOAT: After cooking, each kibble is coated with a source of live naturally-occurring micro-organisms normally found in a healthy digestive tract.

Instructions

FEEDING INFORMATION
When to Feed CORE™: Perfect for everyday feeding, mixing with raw, supplementing raw or replacing raw while traveling.
Who Should Eat CORE™: The nutrient levels of this food are appropriate for adult dogs over 1 year.  We do not recommend feeding this formula to puppies as they have special nutritional requirements during their growth stage.  Please try our Wellness® Puppy Food to meet these unique needs.
How to Feed CORE™: CORE™ is highly palatable, so your dog may tend to eat more of this food.  Watch initially to see if you need to adjust regular eating patterns.  Please give your dog access to clean, cool fresh water at all times.
It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes awhile for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness® CORE™ each day, so that you are feeding 100% new food by day 7.
RECOMMENDED FEEDING PORTIONS (based on a standard 8 oz. dry measuring cup): Optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level.  Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only.
