Sorry to bring this up but I have a question about protein level..i fed my puppy 1/4 cup Acana grain-free wild prairie which has 33 percent protein, and I gave him some Zukes mini naturals dog treat which has 10 percent protein and 2 calories per treat, so is he getting too much protein? I use the dog treat to train him to fetch, sit , down etc....so if each treat is 10 percent protein and he's getting about 5 everyday that's already 50 percent protein? adding his regular dry food from Acana,,which is another 33 percent...so he's getting more than 80 percent protein?? Thats crazy!!!....will this stress his liver and affect his health?
