My Yorkie is fed Orijen. I free feed her nowadays. She has not gained any unnecessary weight. If the fat content is too high, she would have gained excessive weight a long time ago. My shihtzu is the same way.
If there is such a thing as too much protein, I really would like to see an independent, un-biased scientific research explaining it. Link please? |
Higher protein is really only an issue for dogs who have kidney/liver/pancreas disease.
For those unfamiliar w/ canine nutrition needs, I suggest Orijen's White Paper - it is EXCELLENT:
