"My chihuahua mixes love this food. I've tried other products, including other choices from Wellness, but Wellness Trufood is their fave - small triangular pieces with flakes of vegetables added throughout and they are eager to consume unlike other products - grain free - what's not to like!"

— Looneylinda

"I used to buy Trufood from Petsmart and then they stopped selling it. When I found it on Chewy I ordered it, thinking my dogs would love it as usual. The recipe appears to be changed. They will not touch it."

If your dog is not fussy about dry vs. wet food, Wellness TruFood Lamb and Lamb Liver Recipe is a good option. If the result is negative a consideration of switchback to wet food may be advised.
