Hi Scott,
I just wanted to add my thoughts in addition to Dr. Mike’s response.
I pulled up a conversation I had with a friend about this very topic and this is one of her comments regarding FPR that stuck with me most.
“Basically, if the calories from fat are too high then the pup gets full before meeting his protein and nutrient needs. Fed this way long term and he will develop symptoms due to those missing nutrients. Because fat has double the calories of protein (and carbs) Steve Brown and Dr. Becker recommend diets should be about 50% more meat than fat on a dry matter basis – so if the kibble is 40% protein it should be around 20% fat.”
