📊 Scoring Breakdown
-
🥩 Protein Quality 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This range contains fresh, named meat, which is highly digestible and offers an excellent source of essential amino acids. It also includes dried meat, a nutrient-dense protein source that retains many of the benefits of fresh meat while offering high protein concentration.
-
🟡 Essential Amino Acids 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This range allows for effective nutritional rotation, helping to balance amino acids, vitamins, and minerals over time.
-
🌾 Carbohydrate Balance 2/5 ⭐⭐⭐
At this level, legumes can disrupt amino acid uptake, particularly methionine and taurine, increasing the risk of deficiency.
Long-term feeding at these concentrations has been linked to diet-associated heart issues and poor nutrient bioavailability. -
🟦 Biological Suitability 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This range offers a high level of biological suitability, increasing the probability of achieving optimal nutrition while reducing the likelihood of both nutritional deficiency and excess.

💡 Our Recommendations
Rotation - Your Most Important Nutritional Strategy
🐾 No matter what food your dog eats, rotation is always recommended where possible to increase the probability of better all-round nutrition.
🔄 We highly recommend rotating within the same brand whenever possible. 🐶
This range includes the following rotation options: Lamb, Salmon with Tuna & Turkey with Chicken. The variety available allows for effective nutritional rotation, helping to balance amino acids, vitamins, and minerals over time.
Natural Dog Treats
💡 Why Might Treats Be Considered?
All treats should serve a nutritional purpose. They either balance the dogs diet filling nutritional gaps, support digestion or promote joint/coat health.
This food provides solid nutrition but may benefit from some carefully selected treats to complement specific nutrients and support overall well-being.
Recommended Treats to Complement Wellness CORE Adult Dry Dog Food
✅ Chicken Feet - A natural source of collagen and glucosamine, helping maintain joint health and skin elasticity.
✅ Paddywack- A high-protein, tough chew that strengthens jaw muscles and supports dental hygiene.
✅ Duck Necks - A natural source of calcium and phosphorus, aiding in strong bones and muscle function.
✅ Cow’s Ear - A softer, chewy treat with low fat content, making it ideal for sensitive stomachs and digestion.
🚨 Caution: Treats should always be given in moderation. Even natural treats contribute to daily nutrition intake, so they should be part of a balanced feeding plan to avoid excess.
Supplements
💡Why Might Supplements Be Considered?
This food provides a solid nutritional foundation, though some nutrients may be less optimal than in higher-rated foods. Rotating protein sources and introducing targeted supplements, such as omega-3s or joint support, can help maintain overall well-being.
Whole Foods - Additional Nutrients
Looking to enhance your dog’s diet naturally, whole foods can be a great way to introduce additional nutrients.
Even the healthiest whole foods can turn a well-balanced diet into something excessive if portion control is ignored. More nutrition doesn’t always mean better, it often means overload, leading to toxicity, digestive issues, or long-term organ strain.
✔ Whole foods should complement, not compete with a balanced diet.
✔ If you’re adding whole foods regularly, you must reduce the main food accordingly.
✔ If you have any questions about whole foods contact us to ensure the diet stays safe, balanced, and beneficial.
