Arden Grange VetCare Weight Control 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.

The weight control wet food in Arden Grange's VetCare range is a turkey recipe with no added oil. It is meant for dogs whose weight loss a vet is overseeing.
