low carb dog food options

[Jeremy HMember]

I currently feed Orijen, which is low carb but also gives my dogs loose stools. I have been mixing it about 50/50 with Zignature which has helped firm things up. The only “low” carb kibble that I have noticed after scouring the reviews is Orijen. Am I missing something? Is the only other low carb option raw?

Have you tried pumpkin to help w the loose stool?

If you look through the 5 star foods, there should be other low carb options. For instance, Wysong Epigen, Solid Gold Barking at the Moon, Earthborn Holistic Great Plains Feast, Wellness Core (some recipes), Nature’s Variety Instinct (some recipes), Stella and Chewy’s Raw Blend (dry food), Farmina N&D Grain Free, Weruva Caloric Harmony.

Kibble is a bakery product and needs starch to keep its shape. Canned foods can be lower in carbs since they don’t require a starchy binder and they’re probably not as expensive as raw foods.
