What kind of food are you feeding? If you are feeding a kibble, you can check on the back or side of the back and it will give a percentage of total protein.
My Lucy has mild liver issues (confirmed via numerous BAT tests); and I aim for 20 percent or less protein. BUT, she is no longer a little puppy and she has been diagnosed. |
I wanted to add to something Ringo1 said - not only is the amount of protein important if the dog has liver disease, but the TYPE of protein is also a factor. For example, the amino acids that make up the protein in red meat are harder on the liver than other types of protein such as chicken or some fish.
