what is considered an average % of fat in dog food
We analyzed about 1,500 canned and dry dog foods and converted their guaranteed analysis values to a dry matter basis. The graph below tells the story. The average dog food contains about 35% protein, 19% fat, and 37% carbohydrates. There is both good news and bad news in these numbers. First the good news. The 37% average carbohydrate number is actually less than I would have guessed â probably due to the recent popularity of grain free and lower carb food recipes.
