Does anyone have any suggestions for low protein dog foods? Ted has been having intermittent but frequent digestive issues, and on latest vet visit they asked what he was being fed (Simpsons Premium and then fresh chicken, my partners father is butcher so there's always some spare...!) and it was decided this was probably the issue, due to too much protein. This does make sense in hindsight, the other dogs are on a cheaper wheat based mixer (not my choice!) so the additional chicken makes sense for them, but adding pure meat to a meat heavy mixer is a bit pointless.
Ive cut out the chicken altogether, but I'm hunting for a lower protein mixer as well, I've had a search of the last few threads but everything recommended is around the same protein as current food (26%).
Does anyone have any tips? I'm reluctant to feed a mixer with lots of wheat etc filler but finding a balance is tricky.
I've had a peruse on the all about dog food website and narrowed it to lily's kitchen (expensive!) and a Barking heads one (not heard much about this either way)
Any ideas much appreciated, for context he's a one year old border terrier cross, v active (when not feeling ropey!)
