I would go to the Innova website and read up. I chose not to feed it because of the high protein, I supplement my dogs food too much as it is. |
Yes, exactly, it goes through the liver and the kidneys, thus, making those organs, work that much harder.
After losing my Tiffany at 13, I decided to use lower protein food for my Yorkies now, than the 30% that I fed her. One of my girls is almost 10, and shows no signs of any health problems. And my tiny one just turned 7, and is doing great.
