    Concern about Wellness dog food

    Not quite sure what to make of this. I don't use this food, but thought some here may.

    If a food was in question I would check their web site,
    contact the company and also google to see if you can find complaints about Wellness.
    Usually if their is a problem you will find a few web sites with
    information/or postings etc. instead of one U-Tube tape.
    Example: consumeraffairs.com.

    Hmm...Interesting video. I fed my dogs Wellness brand dog food for a long time (and just recently switched back to it after feeding Orijen for a little bit), but I've never seen anything remotely close to what was shown in that video in the Wellness food I feed my pooches (like bone fragments and long hairs). The video definitely makes me think though. Also, I don't usually get the fish kind, I usually get the chicken and turkey Wellness CORE, so maybe there's a difference. I wish I could just feed my dogs Honest Kitchen brand dog food, but it's too dang expensive.

    That's a scarey video. I'd be interested in hearing Wellness' reaction to it.

    How did he get the fish bones to stay at the top of the bag? It kinda does look like the bones were in the cup before he scooped the food, since the first half a cup he dumped out looked like only kibble. I'm not saying the bones aren't in the bag, but what if he saved up a years worth of bone findings to use in the video?

    Somewhat an interesting video.. I dont know nothing about Wellness Brand.. It would be interesting if we bought a bag just to check & then note what we found on here.. I am game to buy a bag & see what was found.. I wonder if PetsMart carries it..

    That's a good point IRescue452. He could have just had the bones already in the cup. But there was that one piece of kibble with a sharp bone in it already supposedly. Heck if I know. I've fed Wellness and have never found any tiny bones in the bag, let alone tons of jagged bone fragments EVERYWHERE like that guy found, supposedly.

    whether it was him saving them or not... such tiny pieces should have settled to the bottom just by picking the bag up, getting it to the car, getting it out to the house, etc...

    perhaps the food did had incrusted lil bones... but the loose pieces would not be at top at all... simple gravity..

    did anyone else notice that nearly every piece of kibble that had a bone in it looked the same? same length, same shape & same location in the kibble... Also look how hes scooping into the bag.. Its as if there is something in the cup.

    I've been feeding Wellness dog food and I've never seen anything like that. I don't feed the all fish formula but I believe the kind I've been using is Lamb with either whitefish or salmon. Almost all of my co-workers feed Wellness and I know at least one of them uses the fish formula and they've never had a problem either.

    I've been feeding Wellness CORE for a few months and have not noticed anything like this. Looks like someone is just trying to give Wellness a bad name.

    I don't feed Wellness, but I've never heard anything bad about it. I'm with everyone else. The whole video looks very odd.
