Virbac dog food review
Virbac runs one catalogue, the Veterinary HPM lines, and pork leads nineteen of the twenty two products. Nine of them are veterinary diets, so they carry no score with us. The thirteen that are scored all sit in our Good band, with nutritional balance Outstanding on eight. Almost everything here is dry, with one wet recipe.

In detail
Virbac: the closer look
The range
Twenty two products, twenty one of them dry. The Veterinary HPM Clinical line is the largest at eight products, and the rest are single recipes split by breed size and life stage. They cover small and toy, large and medium, baby, junior, neutered adult and senior. Adult labels number eighteen, with ten senior and six puppy.
Ingredients
Pork is the main protein on nineteen products, with single recipes on fish, poultry and chicken. Linseed and taurine appear on nearly every label, and chondroitin turns up on the Clinical line. Four products are flagged grain free and six carry joint support.
Nutrition
Protein as fed runs from 29.0% to 35.0% on the scored dry recipes, with fat of 12.0 to 21.0% and energy of 311 to 396 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance is the strongest pillar here, Outstanding on eight products and Excellent on four.
Strengths
- Outstanding nutritional balance on eight products
- Consistent pork recipes across breed sizes
- Adult, puppy and senior labels covered
Limitations
- One wet product in the range
- Nine veterinary diets carry no score
- Protein and processing reads Average on two
Where it is less of a fit
- If you want wet food, check the formats here, as one of the twenty two products is wet
- If you want a protein other than pork, check the labels, since pork leads nineteen products
- If you want a band on the clinical recipes, check which products are veterinary diets, as those nine carry no score with us
Score overview
Nutritional balance carries the Good band read, Outstanding on eight of the scored products and Excellent on four. Transparency reads Excellent on seven and Good on six. Protein and processing is the softer pillar, Good on eleven and Average on two, and value reads Good on all thirteen. The scored ranges all hold the same band.
The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
