I was all set to buy Iams puppy food, but the sales rep from Wellness was there and she talked me into buying their puppy food instead, based on the type of issues that are raised on that website.

Congratulations on the new puppy! And, on heeding the advice of the Wellness representative!

Four years ago, I rescued a young basset hound to keep my other one company (hey, they're pack animals). Moses arrived with some grocery store dog food that I replaced with Nutro, a product I thought was much healthier. He also arrived with an ear infection and the vet put him on medication. Over the next 12 months, the ear infection would clear up and return. The vet kept switching medications. Finally, he suggested that we run allergy tests. Before we did, I came across the above link, read it through and switched both dogs from Nutro to Wellness. Over the next few weeks, I watched these dogs coats transform from dull to glossy. At his next vet check, Moses' ears were both clean as a whistle, and have been ever since.

Bottom line, you will pay more for a quality dog or cat food but you will be spared veterinary bills associated with the ailments and illnesses resulting from the cheaper food. You made a wise decision! BTW - Wellness has a frequent buyer program that will save you money over the course of time.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you, too!

It seems like a very high quality food, it is made locally. Glad to hear your dog is doing so well on it. My puppy loves it, he runs and jumps on the bag when it's time for a meal!
