reduced calories and phosphorus, increased fiber and moderate levels of
protein and fat needed by aging dogs. Real food ingredients
include high quality chicken for a protein source, fiber for digestive
health, sweet potatoes and carrots for healthy eye and hearts, whitefish
for a healthy coat and a blend of fruits and vegetables for antioxidant
support.
Created with exceptional palatability, and great for older pets with
diminished sensory abilities, alternate or mix Senior Recipe with
Wellness Dry food to create a special treat, offer a variety for your
dog or supplement additional nutritional needs. Dogs that prefer canned
food will benefit from all the real-food ingredients and thoughtfully
chosen ingredients that are also found in our Wellness Dry Dog Recipes.
Wellness dog foods are veterinarian formulated. Animal feeding tests
using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Wellness Recipes dog foods
provide complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance of dogs.

Feeding Information
Transitioning to Wellness: It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes a few days 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 each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness by day 7.
Determining Feeding Portions: Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Wellness believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your dog's diet.
Nutrition is only one part of the equation! Be sure to give your dog plenty of love, plenty of exercise and see your veterinarian regularly to help ensure total wellness.
