Wellness Simple – Grain-Free Salmon & Potato Dog Food Review

Our Recommendation

Salmon is a great and often overlooked protein for dog food. This recipe is appealing for any dog but if you have one that suffers from skin conditions and allergies, this might be the dog food you have been looking for.

• No artificial colors or flavors.
• Salmon oil is good for skin and coat while being high in Omega fatty acids.
• Potatoes add the filling and starchy goodness that some dogs crave. While it is well known that dogs love corn, it is not good for them to eat a large portion of their diet.
•  No corn, wheat, or soy.
• Probiotics promote good gastrointestinal health and allow your dog to get more out of what they eat.

My dogs always really love a fish-based dog food. I think it reminds them of their favorite treat to sneak when I am not looking– cat food. Now they can have something that is complete and nutritionally sound for them. Wellness has many varieties of dog food to choose from so you have options for all life stages. This formula is for dogs one year and older that are not pregnant or nursing.

Scout recommends any Wellness dog food to pet parents trying to go the extra mile for their beloved pooches!

Each year the AAFCO publishes two sets of nutritional minimum standards for dog food intended to help specify if a food is suitable for:

1. Dogs in the growth & reproduction phases of life

Feeding Amounts

Depending on your dog’s size and activity level, they may need more or less food than the recommended measurements in their daily feeding amounts.

Transitioning To Wellness Simple

major change in your dog’s diet is best done over time. For a smooth
transition to Wellness Simple, gradually replace a portion of your
pooch’s regular kibble with Wellness Simple over the course of 5-7
days.

The Bottom Line

Nutrition is important to your dog’s health. Their daily food is one of the things you can completely control and has a big influence on their long-term health and energy levels.
