Dogs are
carnivores of the
canidae family - so their diet should contain a good deal of protein, it is what their bodies are designed to eat. Their digestive system and dentition has not changed since descending from the wolf (except some dental crowding, which isn't all that surprising).
High protein is a problem if a dog has kidney, liver, or pancreas disease.
Otherwise, I view a balanced, high-protein diet as species appropriate.
