Dogs Naturally Magazine TV is a collaborative effort between two leaders in the pet world – Dogs Naturally Magazine and Pet World Insider. Join DNM TV as we discuss important topics that impact the health and well being of our beloved dogs.
On this episode of DNM TV, we discuss how to simply calculate the carbs that are in the pet food you are buying. Watch as the experts share how to figure out how many carbs in that pet food you are picking up, what four things give you the main values, what the bags don’t tell you and what you need to know to keep your dogs safe and healthy.

Preview of episode:
So maybe it’s time to check the carb levels in your pet food. It’s easy! Just flip over the bag and look for it!
Wait… I don’t see it.
Oh that’s right, it’s not there. Because the manufacturer is not forced to list it! So now what?
No problem. There is an easy way to figure it out. Just grab your bag of pet food and a calculator.
Look for the protein, fat, moisture and ash values. Add them up (if the ash is hidden, the general rule of thumb is between 5 to 8%, so pick a value). Then subtract that from 100. Your remaining number represents your carbohydrates.
Protein + Fat + Moisture + Ash then subtract that from 100 = Carbs
We’ll show you how.
This method works for dry food only; to figure out canned food you need to get the dry matter values.
Now we aren’t saying that carbs are entirely bad. But with diseases soaring, maybe it’s time for you to check out how many you’re actually feeding.
