Hi can any one help, My vet has suggested my dog only eats a food with less than 10% fat, I have jsut spent an hour in a large well kown pet shop trying to find a complete dog food actually showing the words "less than 10% fat. I did find one but I'm not sure about it, does anyone know of a complete food that I can be sure is what I need. Thanks Laughing

First of all why has your vet recommended a dog food with less than 10% fat?

Dogs get their energy from fat.

Legally all commercial foods are obliged to list protein, fat, mineral and moisture content.

To enable you to calculate the how much fat there is in the diet you need first to remove the moisture and then divide the amount of fat by the dry matter and multiply by a 100

eg fat = 11% dry matter = 25% x 100

11/25 x 100 = 44% fat.
