Wellness Core Turkey, Chicken Liver and Turkey Liver

Wellness Core dog foods, including Wellness Core Turkey, Chicken Liver and Turkey Liver, are among the more expensive canned dog foods available, but they make up for that by offering a product that's high in meat and free of grains. Carbohydrates are drawn from high-quality sources such as sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, spinach, parsley, blueberries, broccoli and kale. Top ingredients are chicken, turkey, chicken liver, chicken broth, chicken meal and turkey liver. The nutritional profile is excellent. If price is a concern, Canidae Chicken, Lamb and Fish All Life Stages (*Est. $1.70 per 13 oz. can) uses grains, but they are higher quality. The food draws kudos for its otherwise excellent ingredients list at a more nominal price.

Foods are tested, and drawn from the same ingredient sources as those used to make foods for human consumption, advocates say. No artificial preservatives are used. Some Wellness dry foods were part of the 2012 salmonella recall, but canned varieties, including Wellness Core Turkey, Chicken Liver and Turkey Liver, were not affected.
