This is a grain free dry kibble from Wellness's CORE+ line, the manufacturer's current name for what the brand previously sold as CORE RawRev, formulated for small breed adult dogs and sold in 4 pound and 10 pound pouches. Listed by pre-cooking weight, the first five ingredients are Deboned Turkey, Turkey Meal, Chicken Meal, Dried Ground Potatoes, and Lentils, with Turkey Liver and Turkey Hearts further down the list. The feeding chart is organized by adult body weight only, running from about a quarter cup a day for a 2 to 4 pound dog up to about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups a day for a 21 to 25 pound dog, and the maker also gives a combination feeding adjustment for owners who mix in Wellness wet food. The manufacturer's spec sheet lists 3,682 kcal per kg (409 kcal per cup) and states the recipe has been substantiated through AAFCO-recognized feeding trial protocols, though the page does not disclose a country of manufacture or a per-recipe ingredient sourcing statement. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
