Thanks for sharing this info! I was just at Petco and their sale on Wellness ended last week (buy 6 5.5 oz cans, get 2 free). They are having another sale - 15% off 10 cans. The food is SO expensive - any discount/coupons are helpful.

I wish Wellness and other high-quality brands would sell their cases of food in a variety pack. My girls won't eat the same thing day in and day out. Maybe that means I will just need to order multiple cases of their favorites at once!

I completely agree. I haven't found more than 1 online retailer that sells it individually either. A sample/variety pack would be great.

I much prefer Wellness canned, and so does Niles.

I don't like all the gravy in the pouches.

If you are in the middle/east part of the US, then PetFoodDirect is a great place to order from.

Cooper is not a picky eater and loves all the Wellness products. He is eating the canned core for dinner and had the pouch for breakfast and lunch. I really like the pouch because he loves the broth and licks it all up and I know he is getting some water from that. He also has had the regular canned pate and chunks. He eats it all happily.

I personally will not feed Evo since they were bought out by Purina last year. I used to feed Evo to my dogs before I went raw 4 years ago.

That's quite incorrect. Nestle owns Purina..... Evo was bought out by P&G.

You are right, I knew I should have double checked the name before posting. I'm still not buying it though, or any of their line. Not just Evo was bought.

Well, Natura was bought out. There are a LOT of discussions about this in the past month. I feed EVO and I'm not switching unless they show a change in the production, recipe, or staff. So far it's all stayed exactly the same and P&G claims it's going to remain as it is.

I had to get hamster food and I got a bag of Wellness Pure Delights Turkey and Salmon Jerky. My cat refuses to eat them. She'd rather have the 85 cent Friskies' treats. :sigh:

Oh, I got the Wellness coupons today. They are $5 off ANY Wellness purchase. The purchase must be at least $5.

I am a big fan of Wellness Core, for my dog and cats.
My cats are not that crazy about the chicken/turkey one but they go wild for the fish one (blue label can). They literally lick their bowls clean with that stuff.

I also buy Sasha (the kits are too young still) many different flavors of Wellness that are grain free. I do this just to stimulate her as she is a light eater. The ones I will swap around are the Beef and Salmon, chicken and herring and the beef and chicken. Those flavors are all grain free. They aren't as healthy as the Core but they seem yummy (at least to her).
Her main diet is the Wellness core with the occasional can of something new.

If you sign up for their email newsletter then will send you coupons each month via email. I print mine up every month to help with the cost.

As to pet stores online... well I have several..like lots and lots. I will shop around and see who has it on sale. I also look at the shipping cost to see which would be cheaper. Last week Petco had a really good sale on Wellness and free shipping. I stocked up

Petsmart doesn't seem to ever carry Core. I know many people have used petfooddirect and I have a few times...depending on the sale.

Have 3-4 internet stores bookmarked. That way you can quickly check pricing to see who has the better deal.
