Well, it's not better or worse regarding the percentage of protein...It's just what you, as the mom, feel is best for your baby...People seem to use food w/protein from about 26% to 42%...I think if you are using a really high percentage w/protein, you would need to be sure your yorkie got lots of exercise to work it off...If you started noticing "hot spots", which are little sores that can come out from having too much protein, then maybe it would be time to cut down on the protein...I just started raw, and it's about 41% protein, so I'll just see how Apple does, and if she's doing well on that much, then we'll just stay w/that...If she starts showing signs of having too much protein, I'll probably give her raw, once a day, and dry, w/a lower protein for the 2nd meal...
