Arden Grange VetCare Gastrointestinal Wet review

Name: Arden Grange Arden Grange VetCare Gastrointestinal Wet
Brand: Arden Grange

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.

For dogs whose digestion a vet is managing, Arden Grange makes a duck-led wet food, sold in its VetCare range for gastrointestinal support.

What's on the label

Duck leads the label at 58% and is the only named meat in the recipe. Sweet potato follows at 5% and pumpkin at 2.5%, with moisture declared at 80%, so the tin is essentially duck, a little starch and water.

Whole dried egg at 0.69% brings a second animal protein. Fish is present as salmon oil rather than as a meat, a distinction worth knowing if you are tracking allergens: the oil is fish-derived without contributing fish protein. No grain appears anywhere on the list.

Sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride are itemised among the minerals as electrolytes, the sort of inclusion a maker reaches for when a dog is losing fluid. The prebiotic pair is declared with figures, MOS and FOS at 0.05% each, and lucerne, sunchoke, turmeric and dried cranberries close the list.

On the analysis, protein converts to 50.0% of dry matter and fat to 25.0%, with the carbohydrate estimate at 7.5% of dry matter and energy at 88 kcal per 100g. The label's own feeding guide reflects that energy level, suggesting 705 to 1185 grams a day for a dog between 10 and 20kg. Whether this profile is the right fit for your dog's condition is a judgement for the vet who recommended it.
