Ok this is all new to me. I have been seeing that a lot of puppys are haing kidney trouble. I have read that it CAN be caused by to much protein. How much is to much? Right now Roxy is on a mix of Life's Abundance and Eukanuba Puppy. I have a ton of food but plan to wean her of the EP when I am out. How much protein is in the EP? I know Lifes Abundance is 26%........I also heard that it is genetic. I know one of Roxy's siblings from another litter has kidney problems but they only had the same dad so I dont know if that calls for concern or not.
