Dr. Pol Just Made Prescription-Level Dog Food Available at Walmart-No Prescription Needed
Getting the right food for your pups isn't just about picking out a random bag on the shelf. Whether your furry friend prefers wet or dry food, the right choice comes down to whether it meets their health needs and preferences. Unfortunately, the right pick often requires a prescription from a vet.
While prescription food is designed to address your dog's specific needs, it's not always easy to get. Between taking time to visit the vet and ordering, it can be a hassle to get the right food for your pup. Thankfully, renowned veterinarian Dr. Jan Pol is taking the matter straight to pet parents, without a prescription.

Dr. Pol Clinical Nutrition Comes to Walmart
With a new line of specialized formulas to support dogs with unique needs, the Dr. Pol Clinical Nutrition line is the perfect solution for pups who need some extra care in their food. Available exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide and on Walmart.com, this prescription-grade dog food is now accessible to pet parents everywhere, without a vet's prescription.
"Over my 50 years as a veterinarian, I've watched too many people get priced out of doing what they know is right for their animals, and that doesn't sit well with me," said Pol in a statement. "I look at nutrition the same way I look at medicine, practical and no nonsense. Veterinary diets come down to carefully selected ingredients and how they're put together. It's not magic. I took that same approach and built Dr. Pol Clinical Nutrition, complete and balanced formulas made with ingredients inspired by over 50 years of experience. Now you can walk into Walmart and find a straightforward, affordable option, no hoops, no hassle. Because taking care of your animals should be simple and affordable."
Each of the three new formulas meets nutritional requirements established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance, while including all of the good ingredients your dogs need to stay healthy and active. The three formulas include Dr. Pol Clinical Nutrition Weight Management Formula, Dr. Pol Clinical Nutrition Food Sensitivities Formula, and Dr. Pol Clinical Nutrition Gastrointestinal Care Formula.
These formulas come in a wide variety of flavors such as salmon, chicken, plant-based, and beed. Made to aid your pup's gut, digestion, dietary sensitivities, and weight, there's no shortage of options for your dog.
For pet parents who don't want to sacrifice their dog's health over a prescription or price, Dr. Pol's newest line is a welcome solution that delivers all of the goods.
