3 Tips to Help Choose a Diet Dog Food When Using The Dog Food Indexes
- Ensure the food has a suitably low calorie content. Look for a ME figure (kcal/kg) that is less than 3400.
- Ensure the food has a protein content suited to your dog’s target weight (see protein guide at the bottom of this page).
- Review the ingredients. Ideally the first ingredient/s should be animal based protein/s.

Unfortunately British dog food labeling requirements do not currently require dog food manufacturers to list calorie contents on pet food packaging.
Dog Slim Tip: If the calorie content (ME figure) is not displayed on packaging- nutrient information such as the calorie content (kcal/kg ME) and protein level (grams/1000 kcal) is often on the manufacturer’s website or can be requested direct from the manufacturer.
