Dog food question

I was comparing 3 dogs foods caliber 24/20 diamond 24/20 and showtime 27/20 thay sell her when I read on the fiber caliber was like 3.5. Diamond was 5. And showtime was like 2.5 can anybody explain the fiber part

Re: Dog food question

not real sure but i always thought that fiber helped clean out the system. i feed diamond and as soon as my dogs eat they pass a stool. so im guessing the more fiber the better. and someone correct me if im wrong. hope this helps.

Re: Dog food question

Fiber is like beet pulp, rice bran, wheat midds, etc. depending on how the particular feed is formulated. 3.5% max fiber is normal. 2.0% is about as low as you can get with normal dog food formulations. Also, you would not want it any lower or the dogs would become constipated.

Re: Dog food question

fiber is not digestable. the more fiber in the feed the more you have to clean up.
