depends on the health of the dog. I try to stay around 22% protein and my pancreatic dog is on 8% fat. Since this breed is prone to pancreatitis and liver issues I would keep those two things down. Fish is a more highly digestible protein than chicken. If you are switching over just switch over slowly

the other thing to be careful of in high protein diets is stones
