Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this dog food for its palatability and high-quality ingredients. Most report their dogs eagerly eat and beg for more, with visible freeze-dried salmon pieces a major draw that picky eaters enthusiastically consume. Reviewers highlight clean, recognizable ingredients—salmon as the first ingredient, no by-products or grains—and many note significant improvements in digestion and coat health, particularly for dogs with sensitive stomachs. The resealable packaging is widely appreciated for convenience. A few customers report their dogs disliked the fishy aroma or refused the food, though these experiences are rare. Overall, reviewers enthusiastically recommend and plan to repurchase.

Poor quality control in the last bag

Sandy

5 months ago
We’ve been feeding this food to our dog for over a year now and so far had great results. He had his spleen removed and the lower fat content of this food was perfect and he hasn’t had any vomiting issues since. The last bag we bought this week was quite disappointing- there were 0 freeze dried salmon pieces. We thought maybe they had all settled but when we subdivided the bag for storage, still found 0 salmon pieces. If they’re missing an entire major (very expensive) ingredient, now I’m wondering about the rest of the quality control. Reaching out to the company next to inform them as well.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Dogs love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs loved this food! The smell of the bag alone got their attention and they immediately scarfed it down. The freeze dried pieces were there favorites. There is a little bit of a fishy smell to the food but it’s not bad and it doesn’t make their breath smell. I’m definitely going to be purchasing the large bag for them to try to see how well it works for their coats.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this as a dry food option for my dig. The ingredients list was impressive and simple. I was surprised to see actual pieces of freeze dried salmon in it !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great dog food. I was unable to get a picture because my pup pulled the bag off the counter to eat it while I was gone. He love the real bits of dried salmon. It will be more of a treat in the future due to the cost.

Perfect for picky eaters!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rudy (my moms dog but we dog sit her often & love her to pieces!), is the definition of a picky eater. We’ve struggled to find food that she’ll actually enjoy. Then comes Wellness Core Sensitive Skin and Stomach Salmon and Rice. Rudy loves the taste (and trust me, that’s saying a lot!) which makes mealtime so much easier and more enjoyable for her (and for us lol)! The freeze-dried salmon pieces are an awesome touch—they make the food feel a bit special, almost like a treat. The kibble size is just right, too, so Rudy eats comfortably without any fuss. I’m genuinely impressed with how this dog food meets Rudy’s high standards—and ours!! It’s been a great choice for her. If you’ve got a picky eater at home, this is definitely worth a try! P.S. I probably should have taken these pix AFTER my mom gave her a bath lol, not before! 😂 🤣
