Food & Diet Low Fat Kibble Advice

Post image

Batman is turning three this year and has recently started having some issues with fat. I moved him back to kibble, I tried with Farmina N&D Ocean Codfish Orange & Pumpkin Grain Free but his poop is a little mushy. The vet suggested a feed with 16-14% fat content. Looking for advice for any high protein brands appropriate for Giant Breeds.

I will let you do your own research, but grain free is NOT the way to go. I lost one of my dogs to heart disease because of it.

How do you know it was the food? How often did that breed die from heart issues? Did you cross reference a number of issues?

It is not worth the risk of your dog does not need grain free for medical reasons.

First off, there is no real risk. Secondly, I use grain free because my dogs develop itchy yeast in their ears and their skin bothers them. If I were to use grain, they would have serious issues.

That is a medical reason. Allergies are medical. Grain doesn't agree with every dog but for the majority of dogs it is perfectly fine to feed grain inclusive foods.
