Using lean proteins and natural fibre, Pooch & Mutt's Low fat dog food collection is low in fat but high in flavour.
Ideal for digestive health or for pooches prone to pancreatitis and gastrointestinal issues - our low fat dog food comes in a variety of flavours and fat contents to cater to your pooch's needs and their delicate palate.
Low fat dog food can suit a number of dogs, but it's often recommended for those struggling with their weight, or with certain medical conditions.
Especially those that require avoiding high fat recipes in order to help alleviate symptoms and prevent flare-ups. This includes pancreatitis or gastrointestinal issues like gastroenteritis or fat malabsorption.
Dogs with pancreatitis are recommended a low fat diet since high fat dog food is the biggest trigger for the pancreas to release digestive enzymes.
Digestive enzymes help break down fat in food, so the higher the fat percentage, the harder the pancreas has to work. This increases the risk of inflammation, potentially worsening symptoms for a dog who's already suffering from an inflamed, damaged and overstimulated pancreas.
Low fat dog food doesn't cure pancreatitis, but it's essential for its management and reducing the risk of flare-ups. If you suspect your dog has pancreatitis, with symptoms such as vomiting, a reduced appetite or lethargy, be sure to check in with your vet.
When crafting a low fat recipe for dogs, we focus on lean proteins and healthy ingredients that are naturally low in fat but high in nutrition.
This includes Chicken, White Fish, Turkey, Lamb, Sweet potato, White potato, Pumpkin, and Carrots. This helps bring down the overall fat percentage, whilst providing a healthy, complete and balanced meal.
Choosing the best low fat food for your dog means considering not just their taste buds, but their needs too.
Whether they have a medical condition that requires an extremely low fat diet, or you need to consider an allergy, intolerance, or simply their preference, it's important to do your research, assess ingredient lists, and fat percentages to find their perfect recipe.
Here at Pooch & Mutt, a wide range of our Wet and Dry foods make for the perfect low fat diet, carrying the following Crude fat percentages:

If you're unsure of what low fat food will best suit your dog, be sure to chat with your vet. They'll be able to take into account your dog's medical history and recommend the best option.
This will always depend on your dog’s age, breed, activity level and health condition, so you should consult a vet for specifics. Just as humans require a lean, structured diet to lose weight, it’s recommended to feed your dog at the same times each day and in measured portion sizes; avoid fatty treats and human table scraps as much as possible, and offer treats in moderation.
There is some evidence to suggest that because of the higher water content in wet dog food, it can make a dog fuller on a lower amount of calories than dry food, so can aid weight loss. There are lots of other factors to consider though, such as portion sizes, feeding routine and the age, breed and activity level of the dog.
Dog food that doesn’t contain grain isn’t automatically better for weight loss, but generally, grain-free dog food (such as the recipes in Pooch & Mutt’s range) replaces grain with nutritious, whole ingredients such as lean proteins, fruit and veggies. As many commercial pet food brands use grain as a ‘filler’, this focus on health and nutrition makes many grain-free foods a better choice for weight loss in dogs.
The Crude Fat percentage, typically found amongst the recipe composition, simply refers to the total amount of fat present in the food. The 'Crude' part represents the method in which the fat is measured and has nothing to do with the quality of the food.
Yes, low fat food can be great for senior dogs! As dogs get older, not only do they slow down, but their metabolic rate does too. So, without an adapted diet, it's very easy for them to consume more calories than they burn, increasing the risk of obesity. So, switching to a low fat diet that suits their needs is a great way to reduce the risk of weight gain, which could put extra pressure on their ageing joints and overall health.
Low fat food is not often recommended for puppies as they're constantly burning energy as they grow, developing, and running circles around you! Puppies instead need a diet that is specifically designed for younger pooches, one that's full of healthy fats, gentle proteins, and nutritious fruits and veggies.
