Useful Nutrition & Disease Guides
Diets
Virbac’s VETERINARY HPM® is a new generation of dog and cat food designed to be closer to the nutritional needs of carnivores. This new and unique range is based on a low carbohydrate-high protein formula. So it is much lower in starch and carbohydrates, and much higher in animal protein. The result is nutrition that is perfectly adapted to your dog’s or cat’s needs.
We stock a range of Virbac Veterinary HMP covering both healthy pets from weaning until old age, and also their range of prescription diets for certain conditions e.g. weight loss, diabetes management, gastrointestinal problems and others. Our vets and nurses can advise you on which would be most suitable for your pet. You can also now order your pet food online to be delivered to your home!
Just visit their online shop to place your order at Quality Medical Diet Food for Cats and Dogs |
Virbac UK Web Store making sure that you select Archway Veterinary Centre as your prescribing vet.
Raw Feeding
We do not recommend raw feeding due to the risks of feeding an unbalanced diet and the public health risks from bacterial contamination of the raw food.
Please let us know if your animal is raw fed, especially if they come in to the hospital, so we can minimise the risks to our staff and other patients.
