wellness core dog food
would wellness dog food be commercial dog food?

I was watching a video on youtube about commercial dog foods and how extremely bad they are, apparently they use meats such as euthanized dogs and cats, so i was wondering if wellness is a commercial dog food, because that’s what i feed my dog, i feed her Wellness Core

Any dog food you purchase is technically “commercial” dog food; HOWEVER, the video was referring to what is also called “grocery” dog foods. Euthanized dogs and cats can be found in ingredients such as “meat meal”, “Meat and bone meal” “animal fat” or “Meat by-products”. Those ingredients come from rendering plants, and because they are not a named meat (like “turkey” or “beef”) they can include just about anything- which is where the euth. animals can come in.

In fact, a study done several years ago found pentobarbital (the drug used for euthanasias) in several low quality dog foods that contained “Meat meal”.

Since Wellness only contains named meats like “de-boned turkey meal” and “chicken fat”, you know that those meats are ONLY chicken or ONLY turkey. No disgusting euthanized animals.

Wellness is a fantastic dog food, you are feeding one of the best out there. Not sure why a poster said they make better ones than CORE, if your dog is active and healthy CORE is a wonderful choice. If your dog is more of a couch potato, or elderly, you may want to switch to Wellness Super5Mix line since the protein levels are controlled lower.

Good job doing your homework! Rest assured that the “Commercial” dog foods the video meant, however, were junky brands like Purina, Ol’Roy, Iams, and Pedigree. Great brands like Wellness, Orijen, Halo, and Solid Gold, to name a few, are completely different.
