Also, I want to warn you about canned foods. Most canned foods say that they are under 10% protein, but in actuality, once you take out the moisture, they are actually much higher in protein like between 30-50% on a dry matter basis. This could really hurt your dog...The way you calculate this is by taking the amount of protein that the can says and divide by the reciprocal of the moisture...This gives you the amount of protein on a dry matter basis. Example: A canned food has 8% protein and 80% moisture...So take 8 divided by 20 = 40%
Once you have converted it, you can compare it to the amount of protein on a bag of dry dog food.
