Grain-free dog food is not low-carb
We ran the label math on 1,600 dry dog foods. Taking the grain out lowers the estimated carbohydrate by about five points, and in most bags peas, lentils and potatoes take its place.
Our reviews read one bag at a time. Studies read the whole archive at once: what the labels add up to across hundreds of foods. Each one shows its method and its limits, and comes with the summary data so you can check our figures.
