Confused about raw food & fat content

MemberSo once again, Iām on the hunt for some new food. Kodaās an almost 10 year old Papillon with some random tummy issues that we havenāt been able to pin down. The vet has mentioned early pancreatitis possibilities as well as stomach acid issues. Symptoms are random and vary but basically will alter from diarrhea, stomach bloat and/or gurgling and bile spit up.
Since full blown pancreatitis isnāt a concern (yet), Iām not willing to go on a prescription diet since it might not even be an issue, but Iām hoping to find a good alternative that is just healthier all around. Koda has been eating the grain free duck from Lotus and while he seems to do OK on it, he doesnāt love it and tends to free feed.Iām looking in to raw/wet but confused about the fat content conversions with raw in particular. Since heās getting a bit older and has these stomach issues, Iām searching for something that is lower in fat. Iāve considered Honest Kitchenās Preference and was thinking about adding raw but everything seems to be extremely high in fat content. The ones Iāve seen that are lower is Darwinās and OC, both which I have access to in this area, but Iām not sure if these are even considered way to high for my older boy.
The alternative would be for us to boil Costco chicken and add that to the preference, but I do like the idea of having the ready made patties and being able to alternate between proteins. We often travel to our families place so not having to make a separate meal for the dog would be nice too.
Would I just need to contact the companies and ask what the true fat content is? I saw the mathematical conversion on another part of the site, but it seems like I need to know the moisture content of the food and Iām not sure where to find that.
