How to Regulate Your Dog's Fat Consumption

All this and more is available in your copy of Dog Food SECRETS

Fat should not exceed 5% of a dogs their total diet, but that's just a rule of thumb. Exact requirements are based upon age, weight, etc.

Even pregnancy affects the optimum fat ratio.

Here are some general guidelines:

Recommended Daily Allowances For Fats


Puppies (Weighing 12 lb., 33 lb. at maturity)
Adult Dogs (Weighing 33 lb.)
Pregnant Dogs (Weighing 33 lb. w/6 puppies)
Nursing Dogs (Weighing 33 lb. with 6 puppies)

Total Fat
21 g
14 g
29 g
67 g

Example:Recommended Daily Allowances For Fats

If your dog's food guarantees 6% crude fat and he consumes a 1/2-pound portion daily, you must first do the metric conversion for that 1/2-pound portion, which would be approximately 227 grams. The grams of fat conversion would then be .06 x 227 = 14 grams (rounded).

If all of this is confusing, and you want to make sure that your dog is getting the right amount of fats and avoiding dangerous food additives, get a copy of Dog Food Secrets and see the Confidential Dog Food Report in the Gold Pack where I show the only 9 brands we recommend.

It will be a great help..
