The importance of feeding lean meats
Fat is relatively devoid of vitamins and minerals and contains a lot of calories. If your dog’s diet contains more than 20% fat, it will result in less vitamins, minerals and protein being present in the food, which will make the resulting diet nutritionally incomplete. This is especially important for puppies, pregnant and senior dogs, who need more nutrients than the average adult dog.
But we don’t want too little fat either! If the total fat content of the diet dips too much below 10%, you may start to see dry, itchy skin in your dog. This is one of the first signs of fat deficiency. So try to stay within the 10% to 20% fat range most days for adult dogs and around 10% fat content for puppies. This will ensure that your dog is getting everything they need nutritionally.
