I don't think mid- 20's to low 30's can be considered low protein foods.
Far too many dogs (and cats) develop kidney problems in their senior years and it is just considered "normal" by people and vets now. They expect to put animals on low protein foods and kidney medicine as they get older- that just doesn't cut it for me. I have read all the data and no one can provide a legitimate reason for why a small breed dog whose main job is being a companion needs super high protein foods.
