I found a very interesting video on YouTube about Wellness. The man shows that Wellness Whitefish and Sweet Potato actually has tons of bones in their food (and some hair). What I found really interesting were many of the comments state he planted the bones. The bag is sealed and he scoops from the top of the bag. He also uses a new scooper so it's not like he's "planting" the food. Also, it does appear this video has been professionally done – really anyone can make a video look good so the people in the comments section just don't know how to use the correct tools. Why would anyone take you serious if it didn't look professional? Plus this man doesn't have a ton of videos out there – just this one. I think he did a great job and this is a serious matter so he put a lot of thought into the video.
He also brings up the point about the cat food and salmon. What about the fish in the Wellness cat food? Do people find bones just like in the dog food and accept it?
Now here's a really good one – The video was shot in 2008. However, I just looked up the ingredients and found that it now states – Whitefish – no longer does it state "Deboned." So my question is, did Wellness change their ingredient label because so many people were complaining about the bones and they figured it if just states "whitefish" people will accept the bones being in there?
Think twice when buying this food. This is just another fast one being pulled on the consumer. As we know Wellness just had a recall but what I find very weird is the FDA site (http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/newpetfoodrecalls/) has not updated since April 30th. I understand that updating can be a full time job but it is the FDA and people rely on this site for information. Wellness had a recall in May but if someone went to the site today, May 25th, they would never know it.
Here is the video:

Updating food recalls may very well be a full time job which says a lot about the effectiveness of the FDA to begin with. Plus, we pay them to do a job…which means updating the recall list in REAL TIME….not after the fact. You are being generous…but they do not deserve it. Not when it comes to the health of our pets…not to mention people! This just underscores how much value the FDA puts on protecting us. As for the man finding bones and hair in the food, anyone can buy a bag and see for themselves. So why would anyone, except those with something to gain, try to discredit this gentleman without proof? Reflects even worse on the company with trolling employees. I am going to print and give to my local food store. Thanks!
You are correct – we do pay the FDA to update us in Real Time. I actually was shocked to see that an update hasn’t been done since April 30th especially with all the recalls this month.
