I think Britster is right. Basically, the RIGHT food is one that works for you and your dog.

You can tell when your dog is thriving; happy; energetic; and with a great coat; eating well but not too much . . .

I would consider 27 to 25% fairly middle of the ground. Anything under 20% I consider fairly low protein.

I feed my Westie high protein and low carb because that is what works best for him and his allergies. I feed Lucy lower protein and higher carb because she does have liver issues.

If you have concerns; have her liver enzymes checked before going to a real high protein food.

Yes, you are going to get a variety of answers on this!
