Minimal Ingredient Dog Meals

Wellness CORE SIX Grain-Free Dog Food Has Six Main Ingredient Sources

The clean eating practices of pet owners are now being reflected in the types of free-from food products that they are purchasing for their pets, with many health-conscious pet owners opting for grain-free dog food meals. To better serve today's consumers and their pets, Wellness Natural Pet Food is now introducing Wellness CORE SIX, a clean, high-quality, protein-rich meal for pets with minimal ingredients.

The name of the new line of dry dog food products comes from the fact that the Wellness CORE SIX range features just six main ingredient sources. While peas provide plant-based protein and fiber, chickpeas are included as a nutrient-dense source of complex carbs. The meals also feature omega-rich flaxseed, canola oil for a shiny coat and antioxidant-rich tomato pomace, plus vitamins, minerals and probiotics for well-balanced health.
