Does anyone feed their malts Wellness? I had Delilah on this, her last bag of food. I think I like it better than the Nutro Ultra, which is what she is on now. I am thinking the NU is making her tear stain reddish color. She didn't seem to have this problem on the Wellness.

Ollie is on Acana Wild Prairie ... not sure I spelled that correctly! He loves it, and since they have three different no grain mixes, I can change him so he doesn't get bored. He doesn't seem to have the staining on this like he did on Canidae.

Jake has been on Wellness since we have had him. We are currently mixing the puppy Wellness with the small dog Super Mix. He has done well on the Wellness.

Halle is on Wellness and I buy Wellness adult Lamb and Rice for Tessa for my daughter. Halle has never had eye stain.

Nelson loves his Wellness. He eats that and Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul. And he eats Wellness treats.

Tiffany eats Wellness (the small breed super mix one). She's doing well and doesn't have any tear staining.

I'm omw to Petsmart to get her Wellness! So glad they started carrying it finally! NU uses beet pulp. Though I have heard conflicting stories on the beet pulp. I know she didn't have it on the Wellness. I'm a Nutro rep, go figure!

Nelson has minimal tear staining still. But I mix his foods, he also eats Chicken Soup of the Soul. So I wonder if I should do a test and just do the Wellness for like a week and see if it gets less? Hmmmm

Delilah may be tearing/staining because her food contains grains. Grains are not a natural source of nutrients for a dog, so try putting her on a food that does not contain any grains.

Wellness does have grain-free food, but most of their foods DO contain grain. I believe their grain-free line is called Wellness Core. But, in my opinion, if you are considering feeding that, you may as well buy Acana or Orijen which is even better.
