Pro Plan Veterinary Diets OM Obesity Management 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.

OM Obesity Management is a high fibre dry diet, and Purina places it under Pro Plan Veterinary Diets for a dog on a weight loss plan set by a vet.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult dogs on a vet-set weight loss plan
A hungry dog: pea hulls and cellulose add bulk without adding energy
Larger-looking portions, at 296 kcal per 100g
Owners who want every vitamin and trace mineral dosed on the pack

Worth watching

Poultry never named to a species, and pork fat beside it, so two animals in the bowl
Corn, soya meal, barley and wheat gluten all on the list
