Wellness Natural Pet Food is making a case for grains in its Wellness Core line of products.
The brand announced that it will be launching eight new grained recipes for dogs that are made with the same level of quality and protein in its flagship line.
Each recipe contains proteins and such grains as oatmeal, barley and quinoa, as well as fiber, essential vitamins and taurine to support dog’s heart health, the company said.
Featured Wellness Core with Wholesome Grains recipes includes Original Deboned Turkey Chicken Meal & Turkey Meal; Ocean Whitefish, Herring Meal & Menhaden Fish Meal; Small Breed Original Deboned Turkey, Turkey Meal & Chicken Meal; and Puppy Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal & Turkey Meal.
In addition, the new Wellness Core RawRev with Wholesome Grains contain freeze dried raw meat, and comes in four recipes — Original Deboned Turkey, Chicken Meal & Turkey Meal; Ocean Whitefish, Herring Meal & Salmon Meal; Small Breed Original Deboned Turket, Turkey Meal & Chicken Meal; and Puppy Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal & Turkey Meal.
"Our Wellness Core recipes are based on the philosophy that dogs, based on their primal ancestry, thrive on a diet comprised primarily of meat," Chanda Leary-Coutu, the director of consumer experience at Wellness said. "A diet rich in high quality protein can help support a healthy weight, shiny coat, digestive health and more. Our new grained recipes now offer those same protein-focused benefits for pet parents looking to add nutrient-rich grains into their dog's diet as well."
Wellness Core’s new recipes are made without legumes or potatoes, and free of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives, the company said.
