Wellness Dog Food Compared: 45 Recipes by Label

Wellness's product pages in our library publish recipe name, brand, food type, life stage, protein percentage, fat percentage, a calorie density figure, a link back to the manufacturer product page for each recipe. An AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement is published for every one of the 45 recipes in this set. 45 of 45 recipes carry a manufacturer origin address, and 3 different addresses appear across the set, the first on file being: USA (Wellness Pet Company). A per-recipe ingredient-sourcing claim from the manufacturer is on file for 9 of the 45 recipes; the remaining 36 carry no such claim on the page we recorded. A source link to the original manufacturer page is on file for 45 of the 45 recipes, which is where each figure below was read. The pages behind these 45 recipes were recorded between Jul 8, 2026 to Sep 18, 2026.

Across all 45 recipes, published protein runs 8% to 38% across 45 recipes with a figure published. Published fat runs 3% to 18% across 45 recipes with a figure published. Where a calorie density figure is published, it runs 855 kcal/kg to 3,812 kcal/kg across 38 recipes with a figure published. Within Dry Kibble (35 recipes), published protein runs 21% to 38% across 35 recipes with a figure published and published fat runs 10% to 18% across 35 recipes with a figure published. Within Wet/Canned (10 recipes), published protein runs 8% to 9% across 10 recipes with a figure published and published fat runs 3% to 7.5% across 10 recipes with a figure published. These are the ranges of the numbers printed on each product page, not an average, a rating, or a recommendation, and they are pulled straight from the label data we recorded for Wellness. By life stage, the 45 recipes break down as: 34 Adult, 8 Puppy, 3 Senior.

The published ingredient lists we recorded for Wellness run 8 to 55 ingredients long across 45 recipes. 6 of those lists were cut short on the manufacturer page and recorded as truncated, so the true count on those recipes may run longer than what is shown. The recipe count, food type, and life stage for each entry below come from the same product page as the protein, fat, and calorie figures above, so the numbers in the list match what is printed on each label as of the date we recorded it.
