OK, on that note I have to agree with Pawz4me. It may take some time but either walk up and down the aisles of your pet food supplier and read the labels
or do it on line. I'd be leery of what the vet recommends only in that they are probably going to recommend a food they sell at a premium price.
:B
I did just that at a petsmart and the manager called security on me because I was in the store so long flipping bags over and reading the labels!
I had to switch to the lowest fat and lowest protein for my senior dog with health issues and food allergies.
With the onset of all these grain free dog foods that have EXTREMELY high fat and protein content it was almost impossible to find one with low fat and protein. Honestly I was shocked at the numbers.
And of course I wanted it to be a specialty dog food with high quality ingredients, no additives, corn, dyes, etc.
After months of searching I found this to be the lowest fat and protein content I could find in a good dog food.

I like it so much I have all my dogs on this and it maintains weight and good coat.
IMHO these new grain free products are going to over time create a lot of liver and kidney problems in dogs. The levels of fat and protein are off the charts.
A house dog without a job does NOT need that much fat and protein in their diet and again IMHO the vets are going to start seeing more and more dogs with kidney and liver problems and not put two and two together to look at what the owners are feeding them.:( Just saying.
