Wellness has redefined the world of grain-free, high-protein dog food!

CORE Ocean is a more thoughtful alternative in grain-free nutrition with a unique offering unlike any other high protein, grain-free dry food available today - and it's all fish based!

What is Protein-focused Nutrition?
A grain-free fish-based diet choice for dogs over a year old who need to maintain optimal daily health.

Why is CORE different?
In a word…balance. When you add more meat to your dog’s daily feeding program, you also add more protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus and calories. And since daily health requires a delicate nutritional equation, these levels must be managed to create balance, not excess -especially when fed every day as the sole source of your pet’s nutrition.

More Meat from Only the Highest Quality, Human-Grade Sources

• 80% more meat than traditional dog foods that are formulated with grains, while still controlling mineral and fat levels! 
• 4 Different Animal Protein Sources - Deboned Whitefish, along with high quality (low ash) Whitefish, Salmon & Menhaden Fish Meals.

Grain-Free and Lower Carbohydrates

• 100% Grain Free, Fish-Based 
• Contains 35% less carbohydrates than traditional diets 
• Potatoes provide energy-giving carbs and help keep the kibble firm
  

Carefully Regulated Mineral Levels to Support Overall Metabolic Function

• Mineral levels controlled by using expensive lower ash, higher-quality meats that are carefully chosen and screened for the calcium and phosphorus levels
• High levels of Calcium and Phosphorus interfere with the absorption of trace minerals like Zinc and Iron. Over time, this can lead to deficiencies and result in poor growth rates, skin lesions, low red blood cell count, and many other health conditions
• Guaranteed maximum levels of calcium and phosphorus on every bag, unlike other brands that either do not list these numbers in the GA or simply put minimum amounts where actual levels can fluctuate above AAFCO maximums

Preventative Health Benefits

• Fish & Flax Omega Blend provide a rich supply of Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids from salmon oil, flax and canola oil, with guaranteed levels on every bag. This blend nutritionally supports healthy skin to produce a glossy coat.
• Herbs, Botanicals, Fruits & Greens provide Phyto-Chemicals, Micro-Nutrients and Antioxidants.
• Living Food - Our ActiCoat System applies living, heat-sensitive Probiotic micro-organisms after cooking to support digestive health, with guaranteed levels on every bag.
• Hip & Joint Health – Glucosamine and Chondroitin help support long term bone and joint health, at guaranteed levels on every bag.

Incredible Taste!

• Real meat provides the all natural mouth-watering taste that dogs love.

Designed for Everyday Feeding

Wellness CORE Ocean Adult Dog Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AFFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.

When to feed CORE:  
Perfect for everyday feeding, mixing with raw, supplementing raw or replacing raw while traveling.
 
Who Should Eat CORE:
The nutrient levels of this food are appropriate for adult dogs over 1 year old. We do not recommend feeding this formula to puppies, as they have special nutritional requirements during their growth stage. Please try our Wellness Puppy Food to meet these unique needs.
 
How to Feed CORE:
CORE is highly palatable, so your dog may tend to eat more of this food.

Watch initially to see if you need to adjust regular eating patterns. Please give your dog access to clean, cool fresh water at all times.

It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet, as it may take awhile for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness CORE each day, so that you are feeding 100% new food by day 7.
 
Optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount fed by ½ cup, for every 6 oz. of wet food. Guidlelines below are based on a standard 8 oz. dry measuring cup:
