Arden Grange

Arden Grange VetCare Gastrointestinal Dry review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Arden Grange sells this one through its VetCare range as a gastrointestinal diet, built around sweet potato and duck for dogs with digestive trouble.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult dogs whose vet has recommended a gastrointestinal diet
Duck as the only named meat
An unwell dog that needs coaxing, with duck digest at 2% as a palatant
Prebiotics declared with figures, MOS and FOS at 0.2% each

Worth watching

Whole dried egg as a second animal protein, and fish oil on the list
Portion and how long to feed it are the vet's call
