Best Answer

There are quite a few, and not all dog food has the same ones. This is something to ask your vet about if you want the specifics.

Stay away from dog foods that have by-products, corn, wheat, soy, gluten, and dyes in it. Sometimes people like to stay away from chicken because it is a high allergan. Try going with a grain free diet, Taste of the wild makes one along with Innova, Natural Balance and Evo. If you want just an all around good food with whole grains try Wellness, Canidae, Solid Gold, Fromm, or Eagle Pack. Hope that helps

You should never use "fillers" to feed your dog. Give your dog a high quality dry dog food mixed with a little wet (canned) food for additional water content.

Why would low-residue dog food be prescribed?

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. The less that comes out, means the more the dog is retaining as beneficial food. One of the most common fillers is soy meal, so, try to find a brand that has no soy. If you go to a pet food shop, discuss your dogs age and activity level with someone who ,is knoledgable, and find the correct protein level for you dog. An active, in it's prime dog generally requires about 21-23 % protein, but as they age and slow down, the protein content should be reduced.
