Low Residue means that there isn't really any filler (cheap, non-nutritious ingredients used to make the food weigh more). The majority of the food will be used by your dog's body, while only a small portion will be discarded as waste.

many of the store brand dog foods are packed with fillers, which go in one end, and come out the other. Low residue foods contain less fillers.
