Reviews
You can easily find reviews of dry and wet dog food from Wellness online.
Valentina, St. Petersburg, veterinarian:
Having been practicing for over 10 years, I often hear complaints from small breed owners about poor appetite, especially when it comes to dry food. When choosing a customized diet for each little "picky eater," I had to introduce breeders to various premium and super-premium foods. I noticed that Wellness CORE dog food received excellent reviews from my little patients. Of course, everyone has their own tastes, but overall, among the wide range, we easily found the optimal formula and taste. Years later, I can confidently confirm that all dogs switched to Wellness dry food enjoy robust health and delight their owners with excellent conformation.
Sergey, Tula, breeder:
When choosing food for our friendly pack of pets, I always carefully examine the ingredients, because our dogs' health depends on the naturalness of the ingredients. I love everything about Wellness CORE food – the high-quality ingredients, the naturalness, the price, and the wide selection. Even if the dogs start to act up, we always easily stimulate their appetites by offering them new flavors.
Alena, Moscow:
Mike is my first dog, and as expected, before we established proper nutrition, I made many classic mistakes. Thanks to an experienced veterinarian who recommended we try the Wellness series of food. Mike eats with great pleasure, although previously it often required a lot of "dancing with a tambourine." The vet believes this food is perfect for us, as he is active and healthy. And the quality of my promising little guy's coat was also highly praised by club judges at the show.
