    Default Anyone having issues with the "new" Wellness?

    I thought Reese was going through a super picky phase, but now Bailey is not eating like he used to either. I think it might be because of Wellness new and improved formula. :confused: Bailey used to wolf down his food. Now he's not even finishing it. Right now we are on the chicken mix, which they loved before.

    What should I do?

    A couple of options.

    1) You could change the food
    2) you could add a supplement such as Nupro www.nuprosupplement.com which is liver based when added with water forms a gravy.
    3) Mix some canned in with the kibble
    4) Just keep feeding it, picking it up after 15 minutes if not finished and try again.

    Good luck!

    They already get a mix-in with their food. Is it jumping the gun to switch foods so soon?

    a few weeks now - maybe a month.

    Reese would have days here and there when he wouldn't eat breakfast, but he always ate dinner. But now Bailey is turing his nose at it, which is what make me think they just don't like it. He used to be a freaking vacuum.

    If you're almost finished with the bag, this may be a good time to switch.

    Good suggestions given, I guess Reese doesn't like the new formula. I feed Wellness Simple Solutions it has minimum ingredients.
    They may be small, but you should see their hearts. Shelter/Rescue dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter/rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness on your side. Anon
