Here are a couple of other options for low fat dry dog foods:

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Weight Control Small Breed is 9% minimum fat content: https://www.chewy.com/royal-canin-ve...eight/dp/33967

Wellness Core Grain Free Reduced Fat Turkey and Chicken Recipe is 10 to 12% minimum fat content: https://www.chewy.com/wellness-core-...d-fat/dp/34345

Of these two, I would probably go with the Royal Canin, since I know they have veterinary nutritionists on staff.

I would only go with a low fat dog food if a veterinarian specifically recommended it for weight loss or to prevent pancreatitis.
