Low Protein Dog Food

Looking for a lower protein dog food? Our selected Fallon’s recipes include options for mature dogs, senior dogs and dogs needing a lighter or weight-management diet.

Lower protein does not always mean the same thing for every dog. Some owners are looking for a lighter everyday food, some need a recipe suited to an older dog, while others are looking for a weight-control option.

What Is Low Protein Dog Food?

Low or lower protein dog food contains a more moderate level of protein than many higher-protein or performance-style recipes.

For some owners, this can make a lower-protein recipe a useful option when choosing food for an older, less active or weight-conscious dog.

The right protein level will depend on the individual dog, including age, activity level, body condition and overall dietary needs.

Who Might Choose a Lower Protein Dog Food?

A lower-protein recipe may be considered for:

• Older or senior dogs
• Dogs with lower activity levels
• Dogs needing a lighter everyday diet
• Dogs on a weight-management feeding plan
• Owners looking for a more moderate protein level than performance or high-meat recipes

Low Protein Does Not Mean Low Quality

Protein level is only one part of choosing a suitable dog food. Ingredient quality, digestibility, fat level, calorie intake, activity and portion size all matter when deciding which recipe is right for your dog.

A lower-protein recipe can still provide complete everyday nutrition when formulated as a complete dog food.

Need Help Choosing?

If you are unsure which recipe best suits your dog, compare their age, activity level, body condition and feeding goals before choosing.

For dogs with diagnosed medical conditions or where a veterinarian has specifically recommended protein restriction, speak to your vet before changing diet.
