Hi, the only kibbles I know that are low fat, low fiber, low residue are vet prescription diets, when I was looking for a premium kibble, I was told, I will not find a low fat, low fiber, low residue premium kibble as Premium kibbles pet shop kibbles are made for healthy dogs, not dogs with health problems, so my boy was put on the vet prescription diet “Eukanuba Intestinal” it’s made for S.I.B.O & EPI the fat is 10% & fiber is 1.7%, its a low residue kibble & breaks down very easy, so easier to digest, I would add water to the kibble & it was soft within 5 mins, there’s also “Eukanuba Intestinal Plus” but the fiber is higher at 4%….the other kibble is “Royal Canine Intestinal Low Fat” the Fat is 7% & the Fiber is 1.7% but it is not a low residue kibble you could email Royal Canine & ask..

Iams also has their Intestinal BUT the fiber is 4% & Iams use by-products where the Eukanuba use Dried Chicken & Turkey…. Iams Intestinal is made North America & Eukanuba Intestinal is made Switzerland…

What I did, I kept Patch on the Eukanuba Intestinal for 9 months, he gained all his weight & when he was stable, I started trying other foods but they didn’t work, so we would go back & forth with the Eukanuba…..
I don’t like vet diets BUT sometimes they are needed especially when you have a sick dog & like I did, I used the vet diet so he could gain weight & get better…the Eukanuba Intestinal was our last vet diet too try, we had tried all the other vet diets (Hills & Royal Canine) & nothing worked..
The Eukanuba Intestinal firmed his poos within 2 days of starting the kibble, I couldn’t believe it, finally a firm poo & not much poo, very small poos & only 1-2 poos a day….
