Awesome food
My Chesapeake Bay Retriever loves this food! His gassiness has improved and his coat is softer and curlier. He seems happy and loves to eat it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I love that Smartpak offers such a high quality food at what I consider an extremely affordable price! Our adopted Great Pyrenees can be a picky eater and he seems to really like this Wellness food, and I have the peace of mind knowing it has no grains, even though he's never exhibited an allergy, any dog with that long hair and floppy ears I believe can just benefit from grain free!

Awesome
I have a 1 year old toy poodle that has been very sick since we have had him from 8 weeks. When he would eat his Nutro he would have non stop runs till he was emptied out. His fur was dull and very dry, and kept loosing weight. After numerous vet visits the doctors did not know what was wrong with him. Since switching his food one month ago to the Wellness Original he is a happy boy. No more diarrhea, his fur is soft and shiny. He has put his weight back on and is up to his 10 pounds. I'm now into switching the food on my other poodle. After one week with her on this new food her fur is beautiful, very silky and shiny. Both of my babies love the food and Im a proud momma who is glad I made the switch from Nutro to Wellness Original.

Dogs love it!
I've been feeding this to both of my dogs for at least a couple years now and am extremely satisfied!
One dog is a 10+ year old Lab mix that has been slightly picky about his dry food in the past and prone to being overweight. He does GREAT on this food! Always excited about meal time and eats it right up. He's at an excellent weight for his build/size which is especially important since he's a senior and I want him to be able to stay active! Carrying too much weight makes it harder for him to move around, but on this food he does NOT look or act his age! That is priceless to me.
My other dog is a 4 year old herding breed type that I rescued. He was starved and doesn't have the best appetite (he wouldn't even take treats when I got him) but he seems to really like this food. He won't eat individual "meals" like my other dog, but prefers to have a full bowl and eat when he wants. This is the only food he seems to really like and it keeps him in a good weight! He would take days to finish other brands of food, but I fill his bowl up regularly with this food so he definitely eats it.
Both have good coats, never have digestive issues, are in great weight for their respective sizes/breeds, and have great energy. Couldn't be happier.

My dog LOVES it!
My dog loves this food and actually comes to his bowl twice a day now requesting his meal when before we would have to call him over. He actually reminds us! He has hip issues and we've been able to back off his glucosomine pills as this food is wonderful. it's a little on the pricey side but I think it's worth it.

Pretty good food
My dog seems to like the flavor and seems to do well on this food. She was already on a grain free food prior to switching to wellness so we didn't see any real changes in stool or coat condition or such.

Worth every penny
I've had all my Akitas on Wellness core after my vet recommended a grain-free diet. They prefer this food to all others, look great, long-lived and are super healthy.

Travis McGee thinks wellness core is a treat.
Do I need to say more? Especially in the Smartpac individual bags, Travis thinks he is getting a bowl of treats every time he is fed! The non-grain formula has greatly reduced itchy ears, probably a sign of grain allergy. His teeth are clean from chewing.

Glad that I Switched
We have two different breed dogs and they both have taken to the Wellness Core and enjoy it more than they did their previous food. I haven't had any problems with them or the food since we switched several months ago.
