The veterinarian-formulated, non-prescription dog food provides targeted nutritional support for common canine concerns, offering an alternative to prescription pet food
WEIDMAN, Mich., May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trusted veterinarian Dr. Jan Pol is expanding his expert pet care portfolio with the launch of Dr. Pol® Clinical Nutrition, a new line of veterinarian-formulated dog food designed to support dogs with specific nutritional needs, no prescription required. The new product line, manufactured and distributed by Consumers Supply Distributing, LLC (CSD), is available exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide and on Walmart.com.
Expertly designed with targeted nutrition in mind, the Dr. Pol® Clinical Nutrition line features three specialized formulas designed to help support dogs with unique nutritional needs: weight management, food sensitivities and gastrointestinal care.
“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 Dr. Pol. “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.”
Pet owners looking for targeted nutrition have historically needed veterinary prescriptions to access specialized formulas. Dr. Pol® Clinical Nutrition was developed to provide many of the same targeted benefits, while offering greater accessibility and affordability. Centered on science-based nutrition and Dr. Pol’s clinical experience, each recipe is a complete and balanced diet that meets the nutritional requirements established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance, while incorporating thoughtfully selected ingredients, multi-fiber blends, and a proprietary six-strain probiotic pack to support digestion, health and vitality.
- Dr. Pol® Clinical Nutrition Weight Management Formula: Available in a Salmon recipe, this advanced formula helps dogs maintain or achieve a healthy weight while staying satisfied after mealtime. Key benefits include:
- Reduced calorie content compared to many standard commercial dry dog foods
- Balanced high-fiber formula to help dogs feel full
- High-quality protein sources that help support lean muscle maintenance
- Multi-fiber blend supporting digestive health and regularity
- Dr. Pol® Clinical Nutrition Food Sensitives Formula: Available in Chicken, Advanced Salmon & Plant-Based recipes, these formulas support dogs with dietary sensitivities by featuring simplified ingredient lists and highly digestible protein sources. Key features include:

- Carefully selected carbohydrate sources designed to provide gentle, sustained energy
- Multi-fiber blend supporting digestive health and regularity
- Dr. Pol® Clinical Nutrition Gastrointestinal Care Formula: Available in Chicken and Advanced Beef recipes, these formulas support digestive health and a balanced gut microbiome. Key benefits include:

- Highly digestible grains such as rice, barley, and oats to provide gentle, sustained energy
- High-quality animal and plant-based proteins to support balanced nutrition
With more than 50 years of treating animals, Dr. Pol has built a reputation for practical, compassionate care focused on keeping animals healthy and thriving. The new Clinical Nutrition line extends that philosophy into daily feeding routines, helping pet owners support their dogs’ health through nutrition. Dr. Pol® Clinical Nutrition dog food will be available exclusively at Walmart beginning in March. The assortment features multiple flavor options in 7 lbs. and 24 lbs. bags.
The Clinical Nutrition collection is part of the broader Dr. Pol family of pet food products, which also includes Incredi-Pol® Favorites and Incredi-Pol® Limited, featuring simplified, limited-ingredient recipes for everyday nutrition.
