I just went to the Life's Abundance website, https://www.lifesabundance.com/Category/DogFood.aspx . They have the nutritional content for all of their dog foods listed there.

For their All Life Stage Dog Food Grain Free, the fat content is 19% minimum . See https://www.lifesabundance.com/Pets/...%28Pet_Base%29

For their Adult Weight Loss Dog Food, the fat content is 11.5% minimum, which is better, for those who want a lower fat diet. See https://www.lifesabundance.com/Pets/...%28Pet_Base%29

For comparison, both Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier and Wellness Core Grain Free Small breed are fat content 16% minimum. See https://www.chewy.com/royal-canin-yo...adult/dp/33866 and https://www.chewy.com/wellness-core-...breed/dp/37168 .

We feed Wellness Core Grain Free Small Breed to our Bella, but we've also had good results with Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier in the past. The only reason we switched was advice from a human dentist (some Yorkietalk members know who I'm talking about ) and we never got around to switching back because she was doing so well on the Wellness Core.
