well i traded in my BB bag of large breed puppy food for a bag of the wellness large breed adult super 5 mix because of the recall, my puppy is 4 months old and ive read through all the forums and havent sen alot of opinions on the wellness. i was gonna wait to put him on the core until he was a little older, so i was wondering if any of you guys had tried this and your thoughts. i was also curious if the adult mix would be fine for him aas far as calcium levels etc.
first five ingredients- deboned chicken,deboned whitefish,chicken meal,oatmeal,ground peas....

btw calcium level is not less than 1.2%. thanks

i used the Super 5 mix. my dog did well on it.
one day he decided he didn't want it anymore.
i forget what i switched to. i'm always switching my dogs food.
my dog gets kibble, cooked food, raw food, can food,
fresh green veggies, fruit and
sometimes table scraps. i never fed him puppy food.

I've fed the Wellness Large Breed Puppy with great success.

IF I were to feed kibble, this would be my pick for a pup. It hasn't yet had the recalls, and is easier to get than Orijen who(in my area) has had some distribution problems. I haven't researched Fromm, but think that would be an option as well for an older pup.

ya the ingredients seem quite impressive and the price is about $54 for 30 lbs, i switched to quick and he had a mean case of the s#$ts but hes getting better, my trainer( who is also a nutro rep at petco) keeps trying to push nutro on me but the ingredient list is crap

 

[onyx'girl]

I wish the better dog food brands would challenge the nutro reps with their own! Kudos to Nutro to pay for that, but I cringe everytime I go in a pet store with a rep...I just tell them I feed raw when they approach me, they don't waste their time w/ me.

haha, ya i will try that, just bothers me because he can obviously see the ingredients himself and that its overpriced, must think im stupid or something

We started Ginger on Wellness puppy at 8 wks and this week at 14 wks we are switching to the Wellness large breed puppy. She eats the dry kibble with no problems.

My dogs are on BB Wilderness. I spoke with a Blue rep. The recall was on one run of food (July). The vit d levels in the recall bags is within the 'official limits', however it is out of the limits that Blue sets on itself. I wouldn't give up on them especially if you haven't done investigation and are up to speed on just what the recall is. The sky isn't falling.

 

[schroedes]

ya i know it was limited to certain formulas but still made me wonder, theyve had recalls in the past and i saw that wellness hasnt plus the ingredients were a little more impressive for almost the same price. he is on a steak brown rice diet now though, poor guy! lol

I feed the adult super 5 mix to all of my dogs - usually the fish one. I like it and the dogs love it!
