Listening to them I have chosen various foods between 21 and 26 percent protein and have found that right around 24 works best for my dogs. So that is what I feed my dogs. Don't feel bad if other people get defensive about the food they feed. Once you find a food that truly works for your dogs, that they thrive on- you will find that you no longer care what other people say because you know you are doing what is best for your dogs. Also, its very important to have bloodwork run on your pets periodically to insure that kidney & liver values are withing normal range- this can give you an early indication if the food is causing any trouble, along with any other health concerns that could come up.
