Wonderful response to the switch to Wellness Core Ocean

We made the switch from Innova Evo chicken/turkey formula as Odie was doing a lot of paw chewing and scratching. His paws were very red and they seemed to be getting worse. He had been on Evo for about 1.5 years.

We totally changed the protein source and it is working wonderfully for him. First he loves, loves, loves the Wellness Core Ocean. Second, his paws are almost back to the white fur in a little over a month. He is not itchy or biting his paws anymore, he smells better and the boxer gas issue is even better.

Thanks!!!!!!

I am so glad you found something that works! So hard to find something they will eat and not have a reaction to.

I really like Wellness Core. If I ever feed kibble again, I wouldn't hestate feeding that. It's good stuff.

I'm a big fan of Wellness Core. I rotate between the Ocean formula and the chicken.

Is wellness core appropriate for puppies? I would like to find a kibble Tyson is able to tolerate in case we need to feed it to him for one reason or another. We do feed him raw. But if my parents ever need to dog sit, I can't see them feeding him raw. Too gross for them perhaps.

No, it states on the bag that it is for dogs 12 months and older.
