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.  |
That's what I've been doing the past 2 weeks and think I'm going to continue. I've had Jackson on Before Grain but he had also tried Wellness and liked it. So, I've just been mixing the two and he seems to love it and be fine on it. Wellness is 22% protein and BG is 32%.
