Pooch & Mutt

Pooch & Mutt Veterinary Sensitivity Dry Food 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.

Pooch & Mutt runs this one in its Veterinary range as a sensitivity diet, a salmon recipe the brand aims at dogs whose reactions to food are being worked through with a vet.

DryPuppyAdult

Pooch & Mutt's veterinary sensitivity diet, a salmon recipe aimed at dogs whose reactions to food are being worked through with a vet, so it carries no score from us. Salmon is the only species anywhere on the panel. Keeping the fat plant-based is part of how it stays that way.

Our view

Likely to suit

An exclusion trial, with one fish as the only animal
Owners who want every inclusion printed with its figure
Calcium declared, at 1.44% of dry matter, from the fish's own bone mineral
Puppies, adults and seniors of every size, all on the label

Worth watching

Pea protein listed with no percentage beside it
Fish throughout, for a dog that has to avoid it
