Product Review: Wellness Core Grain-Free Canned Dog Food

My dog says we're excited to bring you a new product review today as the pups here sample Wellness Core Grain-Free Turkey Lover's Variety Pack canned dog food. Here's the human mama to give you the details.

Human mama here...

The Wellness Core Grain-Free Turkey Lover's Variety Pack comes from Chewy in an 18-can case, which includes nine cans of Turkey, Chicken Liver, and Turkey Liver formula and nine cans of Turkey, Pork Liver and Duck formula, all in the 12.5 ounce size. I have never tried a canned food with duck before so I wasn't sure how that would go over, but the dogs scarfed up both flavors like I devour See's chocolate (so, yeah, they licked their bowls clean!).  

Going forward, we've opted to use the turkey/chicken flavor for breakfast and the turkey/pork/duck as a topper for the dogs' evening kibble.

We tried the food on its own first.

Later we mixed the Wellness Core with kibble.

Ingredients:

We love using grain-free foods and the ingredient list on this product was very good. Not only is it grain-free, it's also gluten-free. 

The first three ingredients (which we always pay close attention to) are meat in the turkey and chicken variety and the first two ingredients are meat in the duck formula (with the third ingredient being turkey broth and then duck as the fourth ingredient). There are also a nice variety of vegetables in each flavor, including broccoli, kale, spinach, apples, blueberries, parsley, sweet potato, and carrots.

There are no meat by-products, wheat, corn, soy, or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives in either formula. Furthermore, the Wellness Core food earns five stars from Dog Food Advisor (its highest rating) for its quality. 

Usability:

We were pleased with the moisture content and softness of this food. It was easy to scoop out of the can and mash up with the dogs' kibble. I liked that there weren't any big chunks in it, as well.

Wellness Core was a nice consistency and texture. Easy to eat on its own or mixed with kibble.

Origin:

Made in the U.S.A. 

Cost:

When purchased as a case, the per can cost is $2.69. A competitive price for a high quality, grain-free food.

Alexander licked his dish clean. The Wellness Core was a huge hit!

Rating:

On a scale of one to four paws, we give the Wellness Core Grain-Free Turkey Lovers Variety Pack four enthusiastic paws up! We will definitely be adding this food to our regular rotation of canned dog foods.

Disclaimer: As a Chewy influencer, we received this food for free so we could sample it. Our reviews, however, are not bought or paid for and you can count on My Dog Says Woof to give you an honest assessment in all our product reviews.

Dogs are Not Toys

My dog says dogs are living, feeling creatures who want to be a part of your family! They are not inanimate objects to be tossed aside when you get bored with them. Bringing a pet into your home is a lifetime commitment. If you won't honor that commitment, at least give that animal a chance by taking the time to find him/her a new home with a family who will.

Check out this thought provoking video. Dogs are NOT toys!

Dog with No Eyes Plays Fetch

My dog says animals don't let disabilities get them down. Humans tend to wallow in self-pity, but dogs just accept what they've been dealt and move on. Enter Chica.

Chica has no eyes. Yet, she plays fetch, jumps in the car, and runs with abandon--we could all benefit from having the same fortitude and love for life. Here's Chica's story:

Pit Bull Saves Family & Dog Siblings

My dog says he loves a story with a happy ending. Especially one where the hero is a dog!

Whoever thinks that dogs don't have the capacity to think are just plain wrong. Not only do dogs act in the best interests of their families, their fierce loyalty is unparalleled. Just ask Baby.

Baby not only save her human family when fire consumed their home as they slept, but Baby went back into the house to save the other five dogs--even dragging one out from under the bed.

Your Furry Best Friend

My dog says that every kid should have a furry best friend. Dogs don't judge, ridicule, or tease. They just accept you as you are and are loyal beyond belief. Remember to make your dog a part of everything you do. He (or she!) will love to be a part of your life.

Dog People Vs. Cat People

My dog says the world is divided into two kinds of people: dog people and cat people. If you have dogs or cats in your life, you know the eccentricities of both. They're very different creatures, indeed. 

If you know the wonder of dogs and cats, you'll get a kick out of this funny video. The part where the "cat" knocks down the glass of milk is pretty hysterical.

Pitbull Parents Say, "I'm Lovin' Pit"

My dog says McDonald's is no friend to pitbulls! You probably heard about the radio ad which implied that petting a pitbull was unsafe. Pittie parents were outraged that the fast food giant insulted their furry family members and pressured McDonald's to pull the ad (which it did).

Check out all these families who say, "I'm Lovin' Pit" and saying no to Mickey D's!

Dog goes to gravesite to say goodbye to family member

My dog says people frequently don't realize how smart canines really are! Dogs are devoted to a fault and can love their families just as much as any person can.

Check out this amazing story below about Friday, a loyal pup whose human dad passed away. Kudos to the mom for being sensitive to Friday's grief. Animals can feel an extreme sense of loss when family members die, too.

New leash attachment provides greater safety during dog walks

My dog says he's discovered an effective way to make those darn retractable leashes safer for dogs. Thanks to Capability: Mom and the kind folks at Freehand Safety Strap, we were able to try out an attachment which provides a more secure connection between the hand and hard casing of the leash (you can see a demonstration in the video below).

Well, after testing it out, we were quite pleased with the strap. It provides peace of mind for the human and a safer walk for the dog. Win-win.

Let us know if you try it out. We give it two paws up!



Disclaimer: We won a free attachment and we wrote this review in hopes that people who use retractable leashes will be more aware of the safety issues that accompany them. No compensation has exchanged hands and this is not a paid advertisement. Tweet

Would YOU use the Poo Trap?

My dog says there's no shortage of crazy products out there! Personally, if anyone tried to strap this on me, I'd bite them!
