Arden Grange VetCare Hypoallergenic 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's VetCare hypoallergenic dry diet is built on hydrolysed chicken, for dogs whose food reactions a vet is working through.

DryAdult

Arden Grange's VetCare hypoallergenic kibble is built on hydrolysed chicken, for dogs whose food reactions a vet is working through. We do not put a score on it. The protein is broken into fragments small enough that the immune system is less likely to recognise them as chicken.

Worth watching

Chicken fat and chicken digest are not hydrolysed, a detail to raise with the vet before an exclusion trial
Potato protein as a second protein source beside the chicken
