Specific CRW-1 Weight Reduction 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.

CRW-1 Weight Reduction is a pork-led wet diet from Specific's clinical range. The maker builds it around added fibre and very light energy for dogs losing weight under veterinary supervision.

WetAdult

A pork-led wet diet from Specific's clinical range, built around added fibre and very light energy for dogs losing weight under a vet. We do not put a score on it. Energy is 66 kcal per 100g, so a slimming dog still gets a big bowl.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult dogs on a vet-run weight loss programme
Dogs that need a full bowl on few calories, with cellulose fourth on the list
Owners who want L-carnitine named on the label
Chelated trace elements

Worth watching

Pork, fish, egg and maize all in print, which matters alongside an intolerance
No inclusion percentages, so proportions come from the order alone
How much and for how long is the vet's call
