I've been feeding this diet for several months now and they all still seem to be doing great. I've seen no signs of anything that would alarm me in the least. And, like I said earlier, they love their food. Plus, I'm a lifetime member of the Small Poo Fan Club lol! So I think I'll continue on as I have been. I'm still concerned though, if a problem does develop due to the high protein, I have no idea what I should be looking out for? I guess I shouldn't look for trouble before it gets here, huh?
Thanks for the input guys! |
The other thing is, if you're not comfortable - you could always mix 2 kibbles together (one higher protein, one lesser), if that would help. Or feed raw in the a.m. - a mid-range kibble in the evening? Lots of options. I hear you though, I do like the smaller poopies.
If your dog develops a health problem (I don't mean
from the protein) - that isn't conducive to a high protein diet, you would see symptoms of some kind eventually. But, I wouldn't necessarily worry about the kibble itself too terribly (as a cause). It's sort of like "oh no, maybe I should never feed a higher-carb kibble bc what if my dog develops diabetes?!" - do you know what I mean? In that case, the dog was predisposed to that disease -- but it wouldn't be the fault of the higher-carb kibble. I don't know if that makes sense, but that's kind of how I think of it.
There are good kibbles/foods that are low protein, mid protein, and high protein -- and just as many opinions too
! I just do really like higher protein, in general.
