True Wellness means every ingredient has a purpose in every food we make. We study until we’re confident of its health benefit… and then, we make sure to put in the right amount so you’ll see a difference in your animal— We never add ingredients just to have the newest ‘buzzword’ on the label.

Overview
Provides natural sources of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) to promomote brain development. Specially chosen ingredients to nurture bone and muscle development. The food is a smaller kibble size for puppy mouths.

Recommended by Dog Food Analysis but only a 6/10 from Dog Food Chat.

Likes
Dog food is easy to find in many of the large pet store chains. No problems transitioning to this food, but switched because I am on the border of being considered a large breed dog.

Dislikes
The company does not specify that products are made in the USA only, so some ingredients could be outsourced from other countries such as China. Average reviews.
