Wellness CORE+ Small Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, 4 lb – Grain-Free Kibble with Freeze-Dried Turkey, High Protein & Probiotics

Wellness CORE+ Small Breed Adult is a grain-free dry dog food combining high-protein kibble with 100% freeze-dried turkey pieces to support lean muscle and mealtime appeal.

This recipe pairs nutrient-dense kibble formulated for small adult dogs with real turkey freeze-dried into bite-sized morsels, delivering concentrated animal protein and natural flavors in every bowl. Crafted without corn, wheat, or soy and free from poultry by-products and artificial colors or preservatives, the formula focuses on meat-first nutrition and digestibility. The mix of kibble plus freeze-dried pieces gives smaller mouths a varied texture while keeping nutrient integrity intact.

How does this food support small-breed energy and body condition?

The formula emphasizes higher protein and calorie density appropriate for active small adults, helping sustain energy between meals and preserve lean muscle mass. Carefully selected protein sources provide amino acids needed for muscle support without unnecessary fillers.

• High-quality turkey and chicken proteins for essential amino acids
• Calorie-dense kibble sized for small mouths
• Balanced fat levels for sustained energy
• Freeze-dried pieces boost palatability without diluting protein

Will this recipe help my dog’s digestion and coat?

The blend includes probiotics, omega fatty acids, and fiber to encourage healthy digestion and skin condition. These ingredients work together to support nutrient absorption and promote a glossy coat without relying on artificial additives.

• Guaranteed probiotics to support gut microbial balance
• Omega fatty acids for skin and coat condition
• Fiber sources to promote regular digestion
• No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives

What makes the freeze-dried pieces different from regular kibble?

Freeze-dried turkey pieces are real meat preserved at peak freshness, providing concentrated flavor and texture contrast to the crunchy kibble. They reintroduce raw-like protein benefits and make meals more enticing for picky eaters without adding moisture.

• 100% freeze-dried turkey pieces for natural meat flavor
• Added texture increases interest and chew satisfaction
• Meat preserved to retain nutrients and aroma
• Easy to mix into kibble or serve as a topper

Is the recipe free from common allergens and where is it made?

This formula avoids corn, wheat, soy, and poultry by-products, focusing on recognizable, full-ingredient sources. While grains are not added, the product is manufactured in a facility that may process grains, and all recipes are prepared in Wellness’s U.S. facility using globally sourced ingredients.

• No corn, wheat, soy, or poultry by-products included
• Manufactured in a U.S. facility with rigorous quality standards
• Globally sourced ingredients selected for nutrition

Who is this recipe best suited for? Small-breed adult dogs that benefit from a high-protein, grain-free diet with added palatability—especially dogs that enjoy textured meals or need a concentrated protein source to maintain lean muscle. It’s tailored for owners who prefer natural ingredient lists, value U.S. manufacturing, and want a convenient dry food that doubles as a complete meal or a flavorful topper. As with any diet change, introduce gradually over 7–10 days and consult your veterinarian for specific health concerns or weight management plans.
