What a lot of kibble companies do is that they get their protien source from different ingredients in the bag not only from the meat and they use the fat which is a cheaper ingredient to compensate for energy.That is why I say RAW is the best to give your pet. Carbs are actually good for your pet, better that too much fat. Well as the saying goes "too much of anything is no good."
I agree, pets should not get a lot of fat in their diet. That is why fat should be cut off before feeding the meat to your pet. Pork can be quite lean if you buy the appropriate cuts.

I have to ask why you think carbs are good for your pet?
