"My dog has a sensitive stomach and I was nervous to switch her to this because she was doing a dehydrated food diet for years but she absolutely loves this and didn’t have any reactions that she typically would with her sensitive stomach. Highly recommend!"

"I love the Wellness Core food. Chewy carries varieties that I can’t find anywhere else but this is the third time I’ve had to try and scoop it out of the box. Last time it had bugs."
