We are in southern NJ,3 dogs.Tried the chicken super 5 mix & the lamb. Did better than on old foods[Pur 1 & pro plan sens systems,SD light & oral care & w/d,& Iams mini]. Had alot of grass eating & bile. Licking & biting at paws. Stopped it because some is made where they had recalls.They did like it & coats & skin were better than before.All 3 have health problems so we are only doing homemade.

Tried the Chicken Super 5. Dogs would not eat it. Please understand that with all the foods I have posted it either started out because of recalls or because we were trying to find a dog food that Tony our liver disease dog could eat.
I live in Florida.

Wellness dry Chicken Super 5 Mix & Simple Solutions Venison

Until the recalls, I included Wellness dry in my dog's food rotation. I feed 3 different brands in a rotation, so every 3rd bag purchased was Wellness for part of 2005 and all of 2006.

No problems whatsoever with the Wellness Chicken Super 5 Mix in 2006.

In February 2007, the vet supply store that I frequent had several small bags of Wellness on markdown. Since the bags were not damaged and well within date, I bought them. I was in a hurry and did not realize until getting home that the bags were Simple Solutions Venison. When I went to change over foods from what my dog had been eating to the Wellness Venison, (starting with 1/4 new food, 3/4 old food), she got diahrea. Not severe diahrea, just once or twice a day when she had to go, she had the runs.

Since she'd never had venison before, I'm thinking her system just didn't handle it well. I ended up using the food, but literally starting with 1 kibble (once she no longer had the runs) and increasing the amount of this Wellness formula 1 or 2 kibbles at a time, until the venison formula was about 1/2 of each meal. Since I had bought small bags, I just fed the Wellness Venison 1/2 and 1/2 with the other brand I was feeding until the Venison formula was gone.

We tried the Wellness fish and sweet potato dry. The dogs did not care much at all for this food. I had to mix canned with it for the poodle to touch it.
It smelled very bland compared to other brands. Maybe thats why.
It didnt cause any problems or anything though.

My dogs have been on Super5 Mix Small Breed for about 10 months and have done very well on it.  They both have sensitive stomachs and don't take well to switches, but they didn't have any problem switching to Wellness from their previous food (I mixed in 25% for two days, 50% for two days, 75% for 2 days, etc.).  They were also both on Purina before and while I can't speak for my younger dog because we had just adopted him, Taffy, our older dog with Cushings, seems to be in much better general health since we've been using Wellness.  They both liked the food and didn't have any issues from it, and it was a great size for their little mouths.  I'm in the process of switching foods again now but not because of any problems with Wellness--just to try another brand and formulation.

Recently tried the Simple solutions rice & salmon. They all liked it for a treat,but Remy had trouble with it. Gave it to a neighbor whose golden is doing well on it.
