Arden Grange VetCare Joint Care 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.

This is the VetCare joint care wet food from Arden Grange. It is turkey led and carries green-lipped mussel, for a dog on a mobility plan set by their vet.
