What much of the research that I have read suggests is that too much protein for a dog who has kidney problems is bad and will increase the problems. HOWEVER, if your dog is doing well on EVO or a high protein diet and does not already have kidney problems, there is not much out there that suggests that it causes the problem. Each dog is different, just like each person is different. Some dogs THRIVE on EVO. My little girl had to switch to Innova bc her body did not handle that amount of protein too well, plus she only likes the 100% pure beef and chicken treats and that just added to the problem. Innova and the treats is a perfect mix for her, but you will have to be the judge on what is best for your baby.
