When tested, the carb level in CORE is 32%. Is there an “optimal” level for dogs?
• Dogs are extremely well suited to adapt and maintain biochemical homeostasis to a wide range of nutrients – carbohydrates being one of them. In published studies (Kroneld), the researchers observed that dogs showed no differences in glycemic response when fed zero carbs and up to 38% carbs as a contribution of calories. This means that the dog’s reaction to a diet with 0% or 38% carbs is no different in terms of absorbing and utilizing carbs. Simply put, there is no “optimal” level as dogs are able to utilize a huge range with no effect on their glycemic response.
