This is only my opinion from my own experience, If your dog is on a prescription food you shouldn't need to add extra protein in. I give cottage cheese in the morning with his supplements mixed in, about a tablespoon to each of my dogs. But too little protein is not good for a healthy dog and could actually do dammage, so this is the only meal where everyone gets something that is the same. I know that they always want to eat what the other one if having
Then I feed each of them their own foods, offering it up a couple times a day. Ideally you would want to feed a liver compromised dog three to four small meals. but on a busy day mine have been fine with two meals. I would not give my healthy dog prescription, or vice versa.
Now I home cook, so they both get about the same thing but supplements are different and Copper gets less protein, It has taken me quite a while to figure out what is the right amount of this and that for each dog, I also have had alot of help from other good people and a local holistic vet.
Hope that this helps a little, I am still doing alot of learning.
