I am sure she has a "normal" baby to but as many read these threads, it is nice to toss out that there are cases when sometimes high protein may not work. As she really does not say and he still young it worth a mention.

As our dogs have been breed along way away from wolves; their little systems are a little different. As dogs with health concerns can and do breed - as in the inability to eat high protein and it passed on in the genes.
Wolves with this concern just die in the wild and no reproducing or passing on.

Also we do not know that if she puts her little one on High protein that she will not see an aggression concern arise and then wonder from where that came from.
High test fuel in a hot running dogs a big mistake and if your not aware it is a possible and your dog goes from nice boy to killer.. that is a piece of info needed.
Or if I am reading this and thinking humm think I will switch to high protein sounds good but wait I have aggression concerns with my dog.. maybe I better go ask a vet nutritionist or my vet behaviorist first.
It is making sure the bases get covered and an understanding that not all things are good for all dogs and can have a bad out come if tried.
