We all want the best for our loyal companions. Choosing the right food is a great place to start. While many dogs do just fine on regular food, others may need extra support through specialised veterinary diet food. This is often the case for dogs with certain medical conditions that can be effectively managed through the right nutritional approach.
Our Range of Dog Diet Food
Vetsend offers over 100 different types of diet food to help support your dog’s health. From food for obesity, digestive issues or food intolerances to products designed to help manage chronic conditions — whatever you’re looking for, whether recommended by your vet or selected by you, you’ll find it at Vetsend. Always consult your veterinarian before feeding your dog a veterinary diet.
The brand Vetality offers specialised diet food to help pets stay as healthy and active as possible. For dogs, this includes options to support digestive health and the pancreas, reduce food intolerances, and manage skin conditions, obesity and joint problems.

Types of Diet Food
There is a suitable diet for virtually every condition. Below you’ll find a list of health concerns where veterinary diet food can make a significant difference.
Bladder and Urinary Tract
Urinary tract problems are fairly common in dogs. One of the main causes is the formation of bladder stones such as struvite and calcium oxalate. Royal Canin Urinary S/O and TROVET Urinary Struvite ASD can be used both as a treatment and preventive measure.
Pregnancy and Nursing
During and after pregnancy, your dog may need extra nutrition. TROVET Recovery Liquid CCL and Royal Canin Recovery help her regain strength.
Dental Health
Dogs can’t brush their own teeth, which means plaque and tartar build up quickly. Vetsend offers diet food to help maintain dental hygiene, such as Hill’s t/d Mini Dental Care and Royal Canin Dental Dog.
Joints
Some dogs are genetically predisposed to joint issues like osteoarthritis, or develop them due to age or excess weight. Eukanuba Joint Mobility and Royal Canin Mobility C2P+ provide targeted joint support.
Heart
Heart conditions are most common in older dogs. These are often caused by weakened heart muscles or valves. Specific Heart & Kidney Support CKD and Royal Canin Cardiac can help support heart function.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After illness, your dog may benefit from a nutritious and easily digestible recovery diet. Specific Intensive Support and Sanimed Recovery Dog Sausage are specially formulated for this purpose.
Skin and Coat
Skin issues are often caused by sensitivity to certain ingredients. Hypoallergenic diets such as Royal Canin Hypoallergenic can help reduce symptoms.
Liver
Dogs with liver problems like hepatitis benefit from highly digestible food with high energy content. Good examples include TROVET Hepatic HLD and Calibra Hepatic.
Stomach and Intestines
Digestive issues can be relieved with specialised food. Eukanuba Intestinal is ideal for dogs with sensitive stomachs.
Kidneys
Chronic kidney problems often require a specialised diet as part of the treatment. Specific CKD and Royal Canin Renal help support kidney function.
Ageing and Cognitive Decline
Older dogs may show signs of ageing such as cognitive decline. Hill’s b/d Ageing & Alertness and TROVET Mobility & Geriatrics MGD are specially developed for senior support.
Obesity
Overweight dogs are often less active and at higher risk of health issues. Eukanuba Restricted Calorie helps promote weight loss.
Stress
In stressful situations like fireworks or vet visits, calming diet food can help. Royal Canin Calm and Hill’s i/d Stress Mini support dogs during times of tension.
Diabetes
Managing diabetes mellitus requires a special diet in addition to insulin therapy. Royal Canin Diabetic and Calibra Diabetes & Obesity are suitable for diabetic dogs.
Food Allergies and Intolerances
Food sensitivity is becoming more common in dogs. Vetsend offers hypoallergenic food such as TROVET RRD (Rabbit) and Lupo Sensitiv 20/8 or 24/10.
