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 dogs 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.
