The full buyer's guide
Overview
CORE Puppy is a kibble recipe from Wellness CORE. It is targeted at puppy dogs. The recipe uses a multi-protein blend rather than a single named source.
This recipe is built for puppies in their growth phase. Dry kibble is shelf-stable, calorie-dense, and the lowest per-day cost format. Confirm the package size before buying because per-pound pricing scales with bag size.
We are still verifying a verified AAFCO statement directly from the bag and verified guaranteed analysis values for this product. The information shown below is based on the brand's product line context and the format-typical nutritional profile. Always confirm the AAFCO statement and ingredient list on the actual bag before transitioning a dog to a new food.
