It seems that Acana (33%) and Orijen (40%) exceed the recommended protein percentage of 27 or 28% for puppies (source: Yorkshire Terriers for Dummies, best book I've bought this month). I'm sure their adult formulas exceed the 22% recommendation for adults as well.
Blue Buffalo is over those percentages as well, but not by overly much (29% for puppy and 26% for adults). Is this a concern? Should I be looking for a lower protein alternative?
The book has the warning with the bomb picture beside this particular tidbit of information, so I'm hard pressed to argued with it... being that I did buy the book in hopes of it teaching me the right things! ^_^
Thanks again! |
