High Fiber Dog Food

Consult your veterinarian or the portion recommendations of your dog food to find out how much to serve your dog at mealtime. Remember that whenever you're transitioning your pup's diet, it's important to make the switch slowly—blending the new dog food with the old dog food brand over 7 to 10 days.

Increased fiber content in your pet's high-fiber dog food usually means a recipe that has between 6-10% fiber. In addition to fiber content, you'll want to find a high-fiber dog food that provides a high-quality source of protein and fat for your pet to have a well-rounded diet.

High-fiber foods for dogs often come in the form of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, barley, oatmeal or supplemental sources like flaxseed or psyllium husk. You'll want to see fibers from wholesome sources in the ingredients, like whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, instead of refined grains like corn and wheat.

Choosing high-fiber foods for dogs can be an excellent way to add more fiber to your pup's diet. You might also try choosing more fibrous dog supplements or dog treats and hiding them inside treat-dispensing dog toys. It's also important for your dog to get an adequate amount of water, so adding extra dog bowls and feeding supplies around the house might help.
