Pro Plan Veterinary Diets HA 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.

HA is the hydrolysed diet on Purina's Pro Plan Veterinary Diets list, made for a dog whose vet has put him on an exclusion feeding plan.

DryAdult

Purina's HA is a hydrolysed diet for dogs on an exclusion feeding plan, fed on a vet's advice, and we do not score it. There is no meat on the label. Corn starch and hydrolysed soya protein are the whole concept, the protein broken into fragments.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs whose vet has put them on an exclusion trial
A recipe with no meat ingredient at all
Owners who want moisture declared, at 7.5%, so the conversions need no assumption
Every size of adult dog, from toy to giant

Worth watching

Fish oil in the back half, so something fish-derived reaches the bowl
Sugar on the list, marked by the maker as a purified carbohydrate
The portion is the practice's call, not the table on the bag

Written by our editorial team. Independent guidance, not veterinary advice.

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adult dogs of every size, on a vet's advice. If your dog is mid-trial, check the fish oil and the soya against the plan your vet has set.
