How come on the Dog food review page, Wellness dry food is rated 4 star (the fish + sweet potatoe) .. but then the Wellness Supermix dry food is 5 star? And how come the wet food is also 4 star?
My older dog only likes wet food and just recently started eating dry food (Innova) mixed with wet. I was thinking of getting a sample Wellness since it had flavored dry food to see if he would eat it by itsself.. but I was just wonder why they are all different stars?
Does it matter? Is there something I'm missing? Or is it still a really good dog food?
Thanks

I don't feed Wellness (not available locally) but it is a very good food. My guess is that one formula may have more grains in it? Try to avoid corn, wheat and soy if at all possible and make sure the first ingredient is a named meat. Wellness is made by Old Mother Hubbard in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. They have been around for a long time and have a great reputation.
Innova is also an great food although I have heard some dogs have had loose bowel movements with it. If your dog is doing well on the Innova, stick with it unless you think it's time for a change. In that case, Wellness would be a great choice to try. Eagle Pack and Canidae are also very good. I feed Canidae here and my dogs are all doing well on it.
If you are interested in canine nutrition, there is a great magazine called Whole Dog Journal. It covers lots of different topics but everyone gets excited in February and March with the list of top rated dog foods comes out. Here is the link to their site: http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/

Wellness and Innova are both very good dog foods. If you are looking for a palatable dry food check out Nature's Variety. There's a coating on the outside of the food. They are all flavored, and since the company believes in variety you buy a different flavor every time you get a new bag of food so your dog won't be sick of the same food every month.

HI Honey!
It could be the protein level in one type of food over another. Look to see if it's different between the 2 you mentioned. Also canned food has added moisture in it so that brings down the start rating a bit.
You can drive your self nuts with all the different foods out there but your a smart girl and you'll find the right one. :)

Wellness is a good product and you can't go wrong feeding any of their products to your dog. Innova is also an excellent food.
