I have an extremely picky chiweenie who goes crazy for raw pieces in his food. Although I have to constantly switch his bags around (due to him getting bored or not loving it any more) I landed on this one so I gave it a try. Opening it up I smelled the fish odor little strong but when it's in his dish its unnoticeable to me, does make his breath fishy for a bit after eating but doesnt bother me. When he gets new food he will take a few pieces out and roll on them (dont ask me why but when he likes a new food he does this at first if he doesnt roll he doesnt like. The silly dog!) and he loves those raw pieces picks them out first and theres alot in there! His coat is shiny, soft, and he doesnt itch on this food like on his last food he itched quite a bit. The reason for 4 stars is because the pieces themselves are a little bit big for smaller breeds (I know its a regular breed bag not a small breed bag). They do make a small breed one that I might try but he likes fishy flavors best. I was surprised to find a fish one with raw pieces. All in all glad I gave it a try!

Last year I adopted a dog from my local shelter. While at the shelter she was fed a low quality brand filled with by products and corn. When I adopted her they gave me a bag of the food she had been eating. I don't really like feeding my dogs low quality kibble, but unfortunately every time I try to switch her to a higher quality food this dog breaks out in itchiness and severe hot spots. If I put her back on the cheap low quality kibble her hot spots go away and itchiness improves. After much searching, vists with her vet, and lots of trial and error, I tried this stuff and so far so good. I'm still only buying small bags cuz it's only been a month, but I am cautiously optimistic. I haven't noticed a bad or highly pungent fishy smell like other reviewers noted. I feed her this with a topping of instinct raw boost skin and coat health. I also use supplements wysong addlife and solid gold seameal supplement.

Great freeze dried ratio!

Those complaining about fish smell? A food that has a lot of freeze dried raw fish is going to smell like fish. It is not a bad smell. It doesn't smell strong

Those complaining about fish smell? A food that has a lot of freeze dried raw fish is going to smell like fish. It is not a bad smell. It doesn't smell strong as long as you keep your food in a seal container or reclose the bag by opening one corner for a measuring cup and folding down several times and hold with a large chip bag clip. Reduces oxidation of fats for any dog food. My dog has extra pep in her step on this formula. I have had her on other high end brands and supplement with raw foods. She has had great stools on most formulas she's been on, and has compact stools on this formula. She feels better and her activity level goes up. I rotate base dog foods, but she does really well on this formula. It is difficult to find higher protein dog foods that do not used peas/beans to boost protein levels

Used grain free Core food in past vets freaked on me about the grain free frightening me into switching. Worst mistake ever!!! I came back and was so pleased that Core now has these wholesome grain foods I hope they keep making them. Tasty is what my dogs say and obviously a healthy food.

I was previously purchasing freeze-dried topper separately. No need to do that anymore with this food and my dog just absolutely chows it down. There was no digestive upset transitioning to this food. Though it is a little pricey, when you read the ingredients, you can see why. Worth the price, especially since I don’t need to buy a separate topper anymore. This is definitely a keeper and I will try another flavor next time.

Yes - but not through Chewy

My dogs absolutely love this food. There is a great freeze-dried to kibble ratio. However, due to how flimsy the bag comes compared to other Wellness products, over 1/4 of the food came crushed into little crumbs from shipping. That portion was useless because my dogs were breathing the crumbs in and coughing. I bought another bag at a local pet store—where I originally bought a small bag to try originally—and did not have this problem. Yes - there’s always going to be crumbs in the bag, but unless there is a better way to package it, I wouldn’t order it online again.

Great for picky eaters and dogs with allergies

We were using Wellness Core Ocean grain free and my vet recommended we buy taurine to give them. Then this came out, it has the good grains in it which are essential

We were using Wellness Core Ocean grain free and my vet recommended we buy taurine to give them. Then this came out, it has the good grains in it which are essential for doggie heart health among other things. My dog with severe allergies is thriving on this food, not to mention my other two doggies dig it too. Especially the freeze dried pieces! Finally, after years of trying to find a dog food that agrees with him, we have found it!

Great food for food sensitive picky eater

My English Lab loves this food. He has had stomach and skin issues in the past from other foods. Having a food that agrees with his tummy is even more important

My English Lab loves this food. He has had stomach and skin issues in the past from other foods. Having a food that agrees with his tummy is even more important because he’s a service dog. His skin looks great and he sits by the food bin asking for more he loves the taste so much. Unlike most Labradors he is picky and has refused quite a few foods. We also like that this food DOES contain grains due to the DCM controversy over grain free foods. This has been a real winner for us!

Great food just one flaw

This food is great for our English bulldog because he has allergies, especially chicken. The only thing I wish could change is when we get to the bottom of the bag

This food is great for our English bulldog because he has allergies, especially chicken. The only thing I wish could change is when we get to the bottom of the bag all the freeze dried salmon is crushed and it comes out as this fine unusable part of the food and we have to throw it away.
