I currently buy the 6oz can Wellness Lamb formula, which contains: "Lamb, Lamb Broth, Lamb Liver, Ocean Whitefish, Ground Barley, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Ground Flaxseed, Canola Oil, Carrageenan, Guar Gum, Potassium Chloride, Canola Oil, Salt, Iron Proteinate (Source Of Chelated Iron), Zinc Proteinate (Source Of Chelated Zinc), Choline Chloride, Vitamins A, E And D3 Supplements, Copper Proteinate (Source Of Chelated Copper), Manganese Proteinate (Source Of Chelated Manganese), Riboflavin Supplement, Sodium Selenite, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin B-12 Supplement, Potassium Iodide, D-Biotin." I trust wellness because of their clear, firm statement that they do not use ethoxyquin in their products. I currently mix in a spoonful of Wellness Lamb into my dog's TOTW dry food, and add in some warm water. It gives a really nice meaty aroma! Currently there's a sale at Petco on all their Natural canned formulas (Wellness, Halo, Solid Gold, Natural Balance, etc.), and the price for the 6oz cans I buy are $1.35. Wellness also has a $1 off ANY can formula from their e-mail newsletter, so all I have to pay is $0.35 cents+ tax! A great deal for a broke college student like me. On final note, I would recommend Wellness canned formulas to people who are switching. I'm also going to try out their CORE and Grain-free/95% canned formulas in the future. @Carol: I can’t say much about the nutritional aspect of Canned VS Dry, but all I know is that Dry is more affordable (especially for a broke college student like me).

This dog has been fed nothing but cooked chicken, cream cheese and supper-market type dog treats for over 12 years. I now have the dog on canned Hills Prescription Diet i/d that the vet prescribed for stress related Colitis. The Colitis has cleared up so now I want to start him on canned Wellness and healthier treats. Is canned Wellness a complete diet or should I have him on the kibble type Wellness instead. He is not used to eating dry food but does enjoy crunchy healthy dog treats. By the way, his teeth look pretty good for eating soft food most his life.
