there are a lot of dog foods that are good quality but the protein content is so much higher and the fat is as well.
My question is what is a good protein percentage and fat when looking for a dog food.
I also was wondering if I switched the protein source from chicken to fish would that be a bad thing. Gosh I sound like durrrrrrr and I feel durrrrrrr lol
I just want what is best for my Pixie and Daisy. I need some help! |
If you're dog doesn't have kidney or liver disease, too much protein usually isn't a big concern. There's not perfect amount of protein, so whatever you feel comfortable with. Orijen or EVO is high meat content with protein in the 40%'s, whereas Acana is lower in protein, including their grainless formula's (33%). I've fed protein from 28%-42% with no problems. I prefer higher meat contect since dogs are carnivores, but there are great foods that are low in protein too.
I'm not sure which Wellness formula you're feeding but the Small Breed Adult gets good review. They're in alphabetical order, which is why Wellness is at the bottom.
