Hi Amanda, to answer your question about the fat percentage, it’s the coconut oil that is high in fat and most bioavailable to the dog, however as it is medium chain fat it is the best type of fat for him. However you can make this recipe without the coconut oil, you can bind the mixture with just water and a little flour and miss out the coconut oil in the mix. Then with the small amount you drizzle on the top with the carob powder you could get away with it. Plus you wouldn’t be feeding the whole batch at once.
I hope that helps.
It would be helpful if you could provide the fat percentage. As my boxer can't eat anything over 7% fat as she is prone to pancreatitis.
