Low fat wet dog food

My 14 year old boy has just been through a bout of diarrhea which lasted over a week. I had him on Royal Canin GI food for a couple of days as recommended by my vet.

I had him on Rocco senior which he's not mad about to be honest. My vet now recommends I put him on Royal Canin low fat as he's got a sensitive stomach. He's always had a sensitive stomach and she said Rocco is very high fat and that even their low fat version has more than is good for him.

Unfortunately this is way out of my budget as is alternatives I've seen. Is there a budget low fat wet food that would be decent. I'd like to get the best I can for him within budget. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will suggest something.

Thanks in advance.

Rinti has an intestinal food at 4% fat only that's close to Rocco in price. You also have Concept for life at 2.7% and Fleischeslust Senior at 7.1% but they are both more expensive as other alternatives which would be below or at the RC Digestive fat content (6.6%)

Thanks. Are those foods ok for long term use. Only it seems to mention a length of time the dog can have it for.

That is a vet question for sure, I'm not qualified to answer that question but if low fat is required at a cost you can afford those would be the options I see.

Thanks I'll check with the vet before I do anything
