The hardest thing is that it is such a non-exact science. All most have to go on is the research that we have done independently, and our personal experience. I wish we had a veternarian on board who was a certified animal nutritionist. I understand that there are only a few in the country.  |
I totally agree with you. I guess the thing that scares me off the high protein, is that I lost my 1st Yorkie, 10 years ago, at the age of 13 years and two months, to renal failure. Back 23 years ago, when I first got her, there wasn't any choice in premium foods, so, she was on Eukanuba's one and only formula, which (if I remember correctly) was 30% protein, which is what their Performance formula is now.
I'm not suggesting that the protein caused her kidney problems, but I find myself wondering, these years later, if i could have prevented the problem from becoming fatal so young.
