What is vet diet dog food?
Vet diet (or veterinary support) dog food is specially formulated to help manage specific health and nutritional needs — such as sensitive digestion, weight control, joint care, or urinary health. These diets are designed with targeted nutrition to support dogs with particular wellness goals or ongoing conditions, providing balanced, science-backed nourishment.
Do I need a prescription to buy vet diet dog food?​
No — you don’t need a prescription to buy vet diet food from Chuffed. We make it easy for dog owners to access trusted veterinary-formulated diets without visiting the vet first. However, if your dog has a diagnosed medical condition, it’s always best to check with your veterinarian before changing their diet, to ensure you’re selecting the right formula for their needs.
How is vet diet dog food different from regular dog food?
Vet diets are formulated to provide targeted nutritional support for dogs with specific issues — for example, joint mobility, urinary health, skin sensitivity, or digestive balance. These recipes often use carefully controlled ingredients, unique nutrient ratios, or specialised protein sources. Regular dog foods are made for everyday maintenance, whereas vet diets have functional benefits to help manage health concerns.
What conditions can vet diets help with?
Vet diet foods can support dogs with:
Sensitive stomachs or food intolerances
Weight management needs
Skin and coat sensitivities
Urinary tract issues
Mobility and joint stiffness
Dental health concerns
General wellbeing support for ageing dogs
These diets are developed to complement veterinary care and make ongoing health management simpler and more effective.
Are vet diets suitable for healthy dogs?
Some vet diets — like those focused on joint support, dental care, or digestive balance — can be safely fed to healthy dogs as a proactive choice. However, those designed for specific medical conditions should be used under guidance from a vet to avoid unnecessary nutrient restrictions. Always review the feeding recommendations before switching your dog’s diet.
How do I transition my dog to a vet diet?
Transition slowly over 7 to 10 days by mixing a small amount of the new food with your dog’s current diet, increasing it gradually each day. This allows your dog’s digestive system to adjust comfortably, especially if they have sensitivities or existing digestive issues.
What brands of vet diet dog food does Chuffed stock?
At Chuffed, we offer a carefully selected range of veterinary-inspired dog food brands known for quality and research-led nutrition — including trusted names like Royal Canin, Hill’s Science Plan, and Purina Pro Plan. Each brand produces targeted formulas to support dogs’ specific health and wellbeing needs.
Can I feed vet diet food alongside my dog’s regular diet?
Yes — some vet diets can be used as a topper or partial diet alongside your dog’s regular food, especially those designed for digestive or skin support. However, for condition-specific formulas (like urinary or weight control), it’s best to feed them exclusively for the most effective results.
How long should my dog stay on a vet diet?
This depends on your dog’s individual needs. Some dogs may only need a vet diet short-term, while others benefit from staying on it long-term as part of their health management plan. It’s a good idea to review your dog’s progress regularly — ideally with input from your vet — to ensure the diet continues to meet their needs.

Absolutely. With Chuffed’s auto-delivery subscription, you can schedule your dog’s vet diet food to arrive exactly when you need it. It’s flexible, easy to manage, and ensures your dog’s specialised nutrition never runs out.
