Vet Recommended Dog Food

Find the vet recommended dog food your pet needs. You'll find a large selection of top veterinary diet brands, featuring science-based, solution-focused dog food formulas. Vet recommended dog food brands are based on science and research to provide support for many common dog health issues, such as a food allergy or sensitivity. If your vet recommends a special diet for your dog, it doesn't mean they have to eat bland or boring food. Advanced science solutions come in both dry and canned formulas with tasty and healthy ingredients, with healthy grains or grain-free dog food, designed for specific health issues or concerns. Some specialized dog food contains healthy additives like omega-3 fatty acids, clinically proven antioxidants, joint-friendly glucosamine and chondroitin, plus prebiotic fiber and probiotics. Because veterinary formulas are designed to treat specific health issues, they are not recommended for every dog with standard nutritional needs. Many formulas have a different balance of nutrients than typical healthy dog food, such as restricted protein levels, or have higher or lower vitamin and mineral content that is not intended for dogs that can eat a wide variety of foods. We require you to have a current prescription from your veterinarian to make sure your pet receives the specified diet. For dogs with food sensitivities, allergies or weight issues, we offer highly digestible formulas with hypoallergenic or limited ingredients to reduce itching and stomach upset, as well as special recipes for weight management. PetSmart has the vet-recommended dog food your pet needs. Find specialized diets for renal/kidney care, liver support, and urinary care, gastrointestinal and digestion support, mobility and joint health, stress and anxiety relief, as well as dental care and other specialized dog nutrition formulas. Please note: Vet-recommended dog food is only available in store and a prescription is required to ensure the health and safety of your pet.
