Arden Grange

Arden Grange VetCare Hypoallergenic Wet 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 places this one in its VetCare range as the hypoallergenic wet food, a hydrolysed chicken recipe intended for dogs whose skin or gut reactions are being managed on a vet's advice.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult dogs whose vet has recommended a hydrolysed protein diet
A short list: chicken, sweet potato and pumpkin are the only entries of any size
Owners who want calcium and every added vitamin and trace mineral printed
Dogs that eat better from a tin, at 99 kcal per 100g

Worth watching

Fish oil at 0.3%, so the recipe is not built on a single animal. Put that to your vet before a strict trial
A lot of tin to get through, about 835 grams a day at 15kg
