Low calorie and low carb dry..does it exist?

[George&Bert]

Harrison is getting big as a house and now I seem him dwelling at the water bowl. He may be borderline so I will pull a home test on him.
My former sugarcat ate 5% Evo dry and wet combo, but the EVO was making him heavier. And some of the low calorie foods are super high in carbs.
Any advice? Oh, Harrison is a dry food junkie..period.

Short of making your own in some way, not really. Protein is more expensive than carbohydrates and fats, so manufactureres will use one or both of the cheaper ingredients before adding more protein. You could add in some plain dehydrated or freeze dried meat or fish to change the ratio a bit.

Also, the minute you dehydrate something, you up the calorie content per weight.

You're better off feeding a quality wet food anyway. Go to Cat Info and read up on why.

Not sure if you have looked at Binky's dry food chart.... it does seems that the lower carb choices are high calorie though. The Wellness core is lower carb, but there is no calorie data on the chart...
And "low carb" dry is relative. Only 4 or 5 that come in under 20% carbs.
