For about two months now both Ralph and Luna have been on a trial of Wellness® CORE®. Back in October, we stopped by one of our local PetSmart’s to pick up two 22 lb bags of Wellness CORE dry dog food. We picked two different recipes to try – Grain Free Wild Game and Grain Free Ocean.
Just last week we finished up the first bag, which was the Ocean recipe and now we have moved on to giving Wild Game a try. So far both dogs have been doing well on their new protein packed, grain free diet. We have great reports on all 5 Signs of Wellness – healthy skin & coat, plenty of energy, no sickness or issues with their eyes, teeth, or gums.

We’ve still got at least a month of food left for both Ralph and Luna, but so far this experience has left us even bigger fans of Wellness that we previously were. I was lucky that both Ralph and Luna were happy and healthy prior to this trial, so I haven’t seen a huge transformation, but I do know they are doing great on the new food!
Wellness has a mission that we can certainly get behind – To help you provide your pet a healthy, happy, and long life through the power of natural nutrition. But not only do they strive to create the best food for your pets, they also give back in ways few other companies in the pet food industry can.
The WellPet Foundation is commited to helping pets in need. Most recently during the flooding in Louisiana, the Companion Animal Alliance of Baton Rouge (CAABR) took in nearly 650 displaced dogs and cats. Wellness stepped up and donated 50,000 pounds of food to CAABR and other nearby shelters. You can learn more about the WellPet Foundation by visiting their website.
Wellness also gives back to the planet by teaming up with TerraCycle® to encourage pet parents, shelters, and doggy day cares to recycle their empty Wellness packaging. In fact, they are the first pet food company in the U.S. to do this!
The program with TerraCycle allows Wellness customers to recycle empty packaging completely free of charge by mailing them in at no cost. Not only does this program help protect the environment, but you can also earn rewards or cash for your favorite school or non-profit organization. It’s a great way to give back twice!
Wellness decided to pursue this partnership with TerraCycle because they are dedicated to long-term sustainability by embracing and supporting recycling efforts. Their goal is to eliminate waste and minimize the foot print they and the pet industry leaves behind.
To sign up for the Wellness Recycling Program, all you have to do is visit TerraCycle’s website. You can also learn more about the program on Wellness’s website.
So how does the recycling program actually work? You mail in your empty packaging free of charge. Each pound of waste sent in equals 100 TerraCycle points, which can be redeemed for gifts or cash for schools and non-profits. It’s best to save your packages and then mail in a few at a time because only packages over 2 lbs will actually receive points!
Currently, the Wellness Recycling Program accepts three different product packages for recycling. They include 1. Wellness® Complete Health™ and Wellness® Complete Health™ Grain Free dry food packaging, 2. Wellness® CORE dry food packaging, and 3. Wellness® TruFood® Baked Blends dry food packaging.
Once TerraCycle has collected the packaging, it is shredded and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products. To streamline the process, make sure all excess pet food is removed and the packaging is dry prior to shipping it to be recycled.
Don’t forget to visit PetSmart to check out the extensive lineup of Wellness CORE and Wellness Complete Health products. Compare both lines in order to pick the right food for your dog! You can find your local PetSmart by using their online store locator tool.
