It is not only the amount of protein that you have to watch for but the quality and the amount of amino acids which is directly related to digestibility. You dog will probably need more carbs, but protein from meat is more digestable than protein derived from vegetable so it the easier it is for the body to convert. If i am not mistaken chicken and turkey would be the best so you will still need to have a meat derived main igredient.
A diet of high calorie and low in protein is Hill's LD Diet, but i think you have to buy thru your vet. There should be many other out there, and i donnou if that would be possible for you but can always change to a fresh, homemade diet
There is other things you might want to stay away from, try to avoid pet foods with synthetic preservatives, like butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and ethoxyquin (which has been "volutarily" reduced since some pet owners link to liver damage and other problems)
Here is a site that explain really clear about protein and its types.
