Orijen formulas only contain 20% carbohydrates. Is this enough for my dog? (She's on the six fish right now)

For a dog without allergies, they should be getting between 30-70% of their daily diet. This is a little low for a dog, and I don't recommend feeding grain free or low carb diets unless the dog has been diagnosed with food allergies.
